Recently I shared 20 things to do in Lisbon and today I wanted to talk about 20 things I personally would not recommend.
IMPORTANT: this is just my opinion and shouldn’t be taken too seriously!
Buying tiles at Feira da Ladra (flea market)
Eating at one of the restaurants on Rua Augusta
Taking Tram 28 from Martim Moniz
Waiting in line for the Santa Justa Lift
Taking a tuk tuk around the tourist areas
Wearing inappropriate shoes for Lisbon’s pavement, especially on rainy days
Speaking Spanish because you assume Portuguese people speak Spanish
Taking a taxi from the airport to your accommodation
Staying in an Airbnb in the historic centre
Having drinks on Pink Street
Spending a Santo António night in Bica
Having lunch or dinner at the Time Out Market
Spending an afternoon at LX Factory
Spending a beach day in Carcavelos
Eating brunch in the Cais do Sodré / Chiado area
Waiting more than 5 minutes in line at Bifanas do Afonso
Eating pastel de bacalhau with Serra cheese and Port wine
Buying Lisbon souvenirs in souvenir shops downtown
Staying seated on public transport while elderly people are standing
Only trying pastel de nata places and never visiting a traditional Portuguese pastelaria
