We were charmed by the liveliness of the squares and alleyways, meeting places for tourists and locals alike. You&#8217;ll come across street musicians, stumble upon some very pretty squares, admire buildings covered in colorful tiles, and you can even go shopping.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also pleasant to linger at cafe tables shaded by purple jacarandas. Some are historic, and in the past played host to great Portuguese authors such as the poet Fernando Pessoa. If you like, you can also enjoy the area&#8217;s lively nightlife. Both districts are home to interesting museums and important monuments.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Town\/i-jB8fRWx\/0\/Lm4c5wzpjNb2csx7fX964VKt5wRJ9t3D46j7xKd5B\/L\/lisbonne-bairro-alto-escalier-L.jpg\" alt=\"Lisbon - Staircase alley\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Streets can be busy and noisy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steep slopes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be careful, the black and white cobblestones are slippery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a tuk-tuk if you don&#8217;t want to walk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baixa-Chiado metro station ideally located for access to these districts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numerous caf\u00e9s, bars and restaurants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking is difficult, so use public transport instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Here, the spirit of the capital vibrates, at least in part! We were seduced by the lively atmosphere that reigns in its pretty alleyways, where you can listen to fado, the traditional Portuguese music. At the foot of the picturesque Largo do Chafariz de Dentro square, there is actually a museum dedicated to this type of music, which we visited.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Alfama&#8217;s small restaurants, you can enjoy crispy grilled sardines, a local specialty. The district is also home to the Cathedral da S\u00e9 and Saint-Georges Castle. Both popular and touristy, the area also hosts major festivities in June, the <em>Festas de Lisboa<\/em>.

In these magnificent ruins, you&#8217;ll discover arches, columns, and intricate stone carvings.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were intrigued by the curious archaeological museum inside.

The city&#8217;s culinary offer is mainly focused on Portuguese cuisine, but what a delight! We invite you to try the local specialties, whether made with products from the sea or from the land. The famous <em>bacalhau<\/em>, &#8220;cod&#8221; in Portuguese, is a must, as are grilled octopus, suckling pig and sardines. Wine lovers won&#8217;t be disappointed either. The capital&#8217;s establishments bring together the finest wines from the Douro and Alentejo regions. For a unique gastronomic experience, we recommend one of the city&#8217;s Michelin-starred restaurants, such as Encanto, which dazzled our taste buds. For a more sober but just as tasty tasting experience, turn to the Restaurant Prado or its <em>wine bar<\/em>, where typical dishes are transformed into delicious Portuguese tapas.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/RESTAURANTS\/Restaurant-Wine-Bar-Prado\/i-VJT4JMc\/0\/KDbGtkP9KX2hNSt8TR6cLP6nrtGWhxRLN3S82p4qP\/L\/lisbonne-restaurant-prado-plat-sardine-L.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled sardine tapas revisited at Wine Bar Prado\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grilled sardine tapas revisited at Wine Bar Prado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Book in advance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restaurants generally open at 12:30 or even 1:00 p.m. for lunch and 7:30 p.m. for dinner, not before!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#fefefe;margin-top:6%;margin-bottom:6%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/en\/ebook-guide-road-trip-portugal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/inpost-box-Portugal-Lovers-EN.jpg\" alt=\"inpost box Portugal Lovers FR\" class=\"wp-image-9288\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

We had a lot of fun testing them! The Santa Justa Elevator, designed by Gustave Eiffel&#8217;s pupil Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard, is a real architectural feat, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. It&#8217;s also very beautiful, with a design reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower in Paris!  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for tramway line 28, it will take you through Lisbon&#8217;s narrow, steep streets, passing through such legendary landmarks as Alfama and Chiado. In fact, this little bright yellow wagon with its woody 1930s interior is featured on many postcards. Take a photo of it, it&#8217;s very photogenic. And in our opinion, it&#8217;s a unique way to discover the Portuguese capital and all its historic districts.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Town\/i-t7D9nK2\/0\/NdrM4hVn5PrzWq6pKVbFZwbxQLn7mWJXSjTpwxMKb\/L\/lisbonne-tramway-jaune-L.jpg\" alt=\"Lisbon - Yellow tramway\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Difficulties: expect queues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find timetables and tramway stops <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carris.pt\/en\/travel\/carreiras\/28e\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Santa Justa Elevator is in the Chiado district<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: Elevator Santa Justa is open from 7am to 9pm, streetcar 28 runs from 6am to 10.30pm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More info on the tourist office website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitlisboa.com\/fr\/des-entroits\/ascenseur-de-santa-justa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elevator access is free with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/lisbonne-l42\/lisbonne-carte-de-reduction-valable-24-48-ou-72-heures-t225711\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=portugal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">the Lisboa Card<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

We were fascinated by the richness of its interior decor, such as the sumptuous reception rooms, the tapestries, and the collections of decorative arts.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour will plunge you into the intimate life of the sovereigns, from bathrooms to bedrooms.

Temperatures remain mild, around 15\u00b0C, and sunshine is frequent. Tourist sites are less crowded, so you can enjoy your visits more serenely and avoid long queues. If you come in December, you can also take advantage of the Christmas lights and seasonal markets. Last but not least, hotel offers are more attractive and affordable!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Town\/i-GCvVrpQ\/0\/LMpFjKP2K7B4SCXp8GWLWDCXTzx278QzMpVWsrfX5\/L\/lisbonne-fresque-coloree-azulejos-L.jpg\" alt=\"Lisbon - Colorful tile fresco\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_titre gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">PLAN YOUR TRIP TO <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">Portugal<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide hr-box-planif\" style=\"background-color:#ccd3dd;color:#ccd3dd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns box_sans_border is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:14px;flex-basis:60%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Best of<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ul_box wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/en\/where-to-go-portugal-most-beautiful-destinations\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8165\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best destinations<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-portugal-visit\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9315\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best attractions in Portugal  <\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/en\/landscapes-portugal-photos\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The most beautiful landscapes  <\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/en\/best-cities-towns-in-portugal\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most Beautiful Cities  <\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/en\/most-beautiful-villages-in-portugal\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most beautiful villages<\/a><br\/>Portugal&#8217;s Most Beautiful Beaches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top planif-radius is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-portrait\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Lisboa\/Belem\/Monasterio-dos-Jeronimos\/i-hCsGSKg\/1\/KTfCqGRmPfSVTvCPzZbgVKmZrL9RMZ3QMQd9RKVZ7\/S\/Jeronimos_Monastery_Lisbon_Portugal_IMG_6861-S.jpg\" alt=\"Monasterio de Jeronimos\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide hr-box-planif\" style=\"background-color:#ccd3dd;color:#ccd3dd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns box_sans_border is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Practical advice<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">When to go?
