Travelling is (or should be) about experiences. And Lisbon is full of them.
Today I want to share 20 things that, in my opinion, are worth doing at least once in this city.
Some are more touristy, others more local, but all of them have something special.
If you've already visited Lisbon, how many of these have you done? Which ones would you add?
– Watch the sunrise from Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
– Have a typical Portuguese breakfast at Pastelaria Versailles
– Eat a bifana and drink a cold beer on a park bench
– Visit the Quake Museum and learn how the 1755 earthquake changed Lisbon forever
– Have a picnic at Jardim da Estrela or the Gulbenkian Gardens
– Take the train from Cais do Sodré and spend the afternoon at Praia da Rainha in Cascais
– Get lost in the narrow streets of Alfama
– Try a codfish dish such as Bacalhau à Brás or Bacalhau com Natas
– Eat snails in the summer. Júlio dos Caracóis is a classic
– Listen to fado on a Sunday afternoon at Tasca do Jaime
– Cross the river by ferry and eat grilled fish in Cacilhas
– Spend a morning at Estufa Fria
– Walk inside São Jorge Castle and enjoy the view
– Visit Feira da Ladra early on a Saturday or Tuesday
– Take a photo in front of Belém Tower
– Decide for yourself: which pastel de nata is better, Manteigaria or Pastéis de Belém?
– Try roasted chestnuts from a street vendor in autumn
– Eat a bitoque at Jorge da Amália
– Walk around Madragoa and look for some of Lisbon's most beautiful tiled buildings
– Have an ice cream at Gelados Conchanata in Alvalade
