The walk to the nearest metro is about 5-10 mins (depending on whether you are dragging cases) and the metro service is pretty efficient. There is a shopping centre next door with a food court.

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.
