LISBON: SELF-GUIDED TOURS HOLIDAY

Entrance from 9 to 21 - 10 euros

One of the best viewpoints in Lisbon. At the entrance I recommend the Store with the croquettes of cod and cheese, typical of Portugal (Pastéis de bacalhau).

Always open

Better known as Piazza del Rossio, it has been a very important center for the city for centuries.

From Mon. to Sat. from 10 to 18 - 4 euros

The Convento do Carmo complex was destroyed by the earthquake of 1755 and has never been restored, to be a reminder of that tragedy.

Always Open

Beautiful square by the sea. I recommend walking through the pedestrian area of Rua Augusta, a promenade full of shops and clubs and then having a coffee in the historic Confeitaria Nacional.

Always Open

Discovered by chance along the route of the famous Tram 28, this balcony is made up of walls decorated entirely in azulejos (blue tiles typical of Portugal) and offers a breathtaking view.

From 7 to 22 - 1.5 euros

A ride on the historic Lisbon tram is not to be missed. Climb to Martim Moniz, so you can easily find a seat and enjoy the city tour.

From 9 to 2 - Free admission

Converted former industrial area, full of restaurants and shops. A must see, especially if you love Street-Art.

From 10 to 23 - Free admission

Market in a modern key where you can sit comfortably and enjoy the food of the various stands. I recommend trying the famous Portuguese cod, in all its recipes, as well as the national Super Bock and Sagres beers.

Always open

To be traveled by car, the imposing red bridge is visible in many parts of the city and is inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

From 11 to 19 (Closed on Tuesdays) - 5 euros

Museum of Art and Technology. For 4 euros more you can also visit the old coal-fired power station.

Always open

Monument built to celebrate the era of discoveries made by Portuguese navigators between the 15th and 16th centuries.

from 10:00 to 18:30 (closed on Mondays) - 10 euros

The Geronimita Monastery was built to celebrate Vasco da Gama's journey to the Indies and to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for the success of the enterprise.

I recommend booking online to avoid queues.

From 10 to 1830 - 8.50 euros

Unesco World Heritage Site, the tower was the starting point for Portuguese ships ready for adventure. I recommend a break for a coffee at the Confeitaria Nacional Belém, about 50 meters from the tower.

from 1030 to 1830 (closed Tuesday)

Statue inspired by that of Christ the Redeemer of Rio de Janeiro. It is located at the end of the long 25 de Abril bridge.

Mon-Fri - from 11 to 17 - 7 euros

The Palace is still inhabited by the heirs of the Portuguese Royal House. The best part is definitely the garden. From 2 to 3 pm it is closed for breaks.

The property can be reached by car because it is quite far from the center. Uber recommend.

From 10:30 to 23:00

Directly on Rossio Square, definitely the aperitif with the best view in Lisbon.

From 12:30 to 2:00

It could only be inside LX Factory, one of the trendiest clubs in the city.

Variable hours based on the day

On the roof of a former train station, you can admire Lisbon on the side of the Tagus river. I recommend booking: https://grupochamp.pt/

Always open

Half an hour from Lisbon I recommend a stop at Praia da Rainha in the fishing town of Cascais. The village is really clean and full of nice traditional shops.

Always open

Beautiful cliff near Cascais. The name refers to the inlet and the caves that resemble the mouth of a monster.

Always open

40 minutes south of Lisbon we find one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. It is not easy to get there, as it is necessary to park the car and continue along a difficult trek (50 minutes), as it is steep. I recommend at least sneakers. Below the details from the satellite.
