(Alternative) itinerary of Lisbon
Discover Lisbon like a local
Experience Lisbon like a local and discover the least tourist attractions, which offer so much charm to the city and keep the true essence of Lisbon alive.
In search of urban art
See examples by the artist Bordalo II, who has several pieces of his Big Trash Animals on the streets of the capital; the artist duo PichiAvo, who painted the side of a building at Calçada de Santa Apolónia
Adega do Tagarro
If youre into eating like a local and tasting real Portuguese food, Adega do Tagarro is your spot. The pataniscas (fried codfish) are the main delicacy and the perfect complement for the wonderful beans rice, but the menu also offers other meat or fish dishes for a lesser touristy price.
LX factory
LX Factory is an industrial site located in Alcântara. Its a world completely apart from the hustle and bustle of the most tourist attractions, offering you conceptual and eco-friendly shops, restaurants and creative workshops. An artistic and welcoming environment where you can discover alternative and very original spaces.
Train ride to Cascais
A train ride to a village near Lisbon can bring you pleasant surprises, such as Casa da Guia. This yellow palace is perfect for those who are looking for a peaceful place to have a snack, read a book or have lunch with the family, while enjoying the sea view.
Traditional grocery shops
If you're looking for traditional Portuguese products, especially good wine, fruit, cheese and sausages, the oldest grocery shops in the capital are the perfect place to find them! They preserve the charm of the olden days, such as Mercearia Progresso, in Alcântara, or Mercearia da Glória, in Bairro Alto.
Have a snack at Tendinha
This isn't the most modern place in the city and, in spite of its renovations, your coffee will be served at its stainless-steel counter. It's located in Rossio and is the perfect place to taste the most traditional delicacies, such as codfish croquettes, bifanas (pork fillet sandwiches) or codfish sandwiches. Pair them with a glass of wine or a ginjinha.
MAAT
The Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology is the new cultural reference in the city. It was born from an architectural proposal designed by the London-based atelier Amanda Levete Architects and is located in Belém, near the Tagus river.
