Common questions
Frequently asked about things to do in Lisbon
What are the must-do things to do in Lisbon?
A ride on the number 28 tram and a wander through Alfama are the classic first-day pairing, along with the monuments at Belém - the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. Add a pastel de nata straight from the oven and a sunset from the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, and you've got the shape of the city.
What free things can you do in Lisbon?
A great deal of Lisbon costs nothing but the walk up to it. The miradouros - São Pedro de Alcântara, Senhora do Monte, Portas do Sol - give you the best views in the city for free, and the streets of Alfama, Mouraria, and the Baixa are the attraction in themselves. Time it for a weekend and the Feira da Ladra flea market at Campo de Santa Clara is free to browse.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
Three days covers the city without rushing - one for the centre and the miradouros, one for Belém and the river, one for Alfama and a day of wandering. A fourth day frees you up for Sintra or the beaches at Cascais, both an easy train ride away.
