We discovered a cute restaurant called Selllva just 2, 3 minutes walking from the hotel, we came back there 3 more times, a mix of delicous Vegan and regular cuisine in an elegant decor. Make sure you check it out.

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.

Do a walking tour to orientate yourself. Although the city is great with many fantastic sites, get out to Cascais and Pena palace.
