Maybe because I live here, I have a very simplistic idea of what it would be to enjoy this city in the best way, but when I see some of my guests, I get the feeling that stress and tiredness prevail over pleasure
So I would like to say
A coffee, a museum with a garden, a beach and a tasca
Drink a coffee with a pastel de nata or another cake because Lisbon is not only pastéis de nata. And I know it’s not healthy, but you are travelling, and this city will make you spend those calories
Then, a museum, because Lisbon is really a city with a lot of history and the historical context may give meaning to things; there are museums with very beautiful gardens
Then take the train and go to the beach, because for me one of the best things this city has is the possibility of, when I have a day off, to take a swim. Yes, the water is cold, but some people say it is therapeutic
And finally eating at a tasca. We Portuguese love to eat and talk about food while we eat. If there is an experience that is worth it is to drink some glasses of wine in a tasca with a good cabidela, a pudding and in the end the coffee and the bagaço
If you have a day like this, I am sure you will be happy!
