Take a walk up Parque Eduardo VII to the viewpoint, wander down Avenida de Liberdade and have a drink at one of the outdoor cafes. Head down to Praça do Comércio and catch one of the free walking tours. Buy a hop-on hop-off bus ticket to see the Belem area of the city. Try a roast chicken dinner, fresh seafood dishes and Pastéis de Nata from any of the small bakeries in the Bairro Alto.

I enjoyed the half day walking tour. It helps get you bearings. Castle Jorge is a must. Beautiful views from the Castle.

Lisboa é uma bela cidade, e está melhor ainda do que da última vez que a visitamos. Limpa, com excelente infraestrutura de transportes públicos. Uma capital aconchegante e dinâmica. É um prazer visita-la sempre.
