Let yourself be surrounded by a modern design and a variety of always fresh products, where local flavors could not be missing.
Explore the city with a ride on tram 28
After a hearty breakfast, your morning deserves memorable walks!
A journey full of charm and emotions awaits you on what is one of the city's greatest icons: tram 28.
This typical and photogenic means of transport in Lisbon, which winds its way through the hills, squares and viewpoints, invites you to see the city in a new light.
Among historical neighborhoods and palaces, here's a tour that starts at Graça and ends at Prazeres. Along the way, you'll cross the Baixa, discover Chiado and pass by Campo de Ourique.
Did we get on board? As soon as you hear the bell, you know your tram has arrived!
Go to Lisbon Cathedral
What if the first stop took you through 800 years of history?
With a unique collection in the world, the oldest church in Lisbon does not go unnoticed by those who pass by.
Built in the reign of D. Afonso Henriques, after the taking of Lisbon from the Moors, the Cathedral< /b> was partially destroyed by the earthquake of 1755. Over time it has been restored and is currently one of the city's ex-libris and one of the most significant monuments in the country, where Faith and History come together.
Your visit is a must!
Visit the São Jorge Castle
After going to the Lisbon Cathedral, we challenge you to go up to Castelo de São Jorge. The approximately 10-minute walk is worth the unique view that extends behind these walls.
Built in the mid-11th century on the highest hill in the city, the Castle was declared a National Monument in 1910. Nowadays it offers one of the best (if not the best!) views over the city and the River Tagus.
In addition to the viewpoint, here you will find a museum center with a collection of historical objects, a camera obscura, which allows you to see the city in real time 360º and also a garden with native species from the Portuguese forest.
Only good reasons to climb this hill in Lisbon!
Lunch in Alfama
After a long walk, you need to replenish your energy. The typical neighborhood of Alfama is always a winning choice!
Between a octopus à lagareiro with roasted potatoes and migas and a cod tiborna, the restaurant Beco a Sério is a serious case … the good Portuguese cuisine!
For those who prefer some guilho-style prawns with a hand-picked wine selection, the Old Wine Bar is a must stop, with its well stocked wine cellar.
What about Loucos de Lisboa?< /a> We're crazy if we don't stop by this place, especially to try the cheese board or the eggs with farinheira.
Now that you know where to have lunch, we can only wish you: Bon appetit!
Take a peek at the Miradouro da Graça
The Miradouro da Graça (with the name of Miradouro Sophia de Mello Breyner) invites you to rest your gaze on the Castle of São Jorge, the Mouraria and the Baixa Pombalina, with the Tagus river as backdrop background.
Being in this place is like feeling Lisbon at your feet, watching everyday life unfold in the city's historic districts.
Sitting in the shade of the pine trees with a good book, or simply relaxing, is an excellent way to make the most of this place.
Discover Praça do Comércio
Welcome to one of the most beautiful squares in Europe! Lisbon reception room for those arriving by boat, Praça do Comércio is still known today by its old name: Praça do Comércio.
From here, you can feel as if you are navigating the Tagus, under the watchful eye of D. José I, mounted on his horse, in what is one of the most famous equestrian statues in the country.
Our suggestion? Sit by the Cais das Colunas and contemplate the river.
Have coffee at A Brasileira
You will hardly find more typical coffee in Lisbon.
An authentic architectural, literary and artistic treasure of the city, A Brasileira do Chiado was, once frequented by renowned writers and artists, such as Fernando Pessoa and Almada Negreiros.
Pessoa's assiduity to this emblematic space led to the creation of a bronze statue in his honor, a statue that you can find right at the entrance.
There is much to say about this space, in addition to the fact that it is one of the most visited and photographed in the city, but the best thing is to visit it. And, of course, try the cod fritters and lime mayonnaise that are so much talked about here!
Go up to the Santa Justa Elevator
Did you know that Elevador de Santa Justa< /a> was designed by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel?
Built by one of the apprentices of the author of the Eiffel Tower, and also known as Carmo Elevator, this 45m-high elevator connects to Rua do Ouro at Largo do Carmo.
If there are doubts about the climb, we have a reason that leaves no room for doubt: its panoramic view, one of the most beautiful in Lisbon!
Pass by the Carmo Convent
Before nightfall, you cannot miss visiting the Convento do Carmo, built by Nuno Álvares Pereira.
It was considered for centuries the greatest Gothic monument in Lisbon, until the 1755 earthquake marked it forever. Although the convent remained standing, a large part of its artistic heritage was consumed by the great fire that occurred after the earthquake.
Nowadays, you can visit the Museu Arqueológico do Carmo, where you can find related pieces with the history of the city, from Prehistory to the Middle Ages.
Listen to fado in Bairro Alto
Our tour of Lisbon could not end anywhere else than at Bairro Alto . One of the oldest and most traditional neighborhoods in Lisbon takes on a special charm at nightfall.
People of different ages gather in the streets to socialize, have a drink and listen to music of all kinds. Bars, restaurants, alternative stores, all intersect in this neighborhood where art, culture and music intersect at every moment. And speaking of music, what better way to end the night than to the sound of the very typical Fado?
Now that you know the places to visit and what to do in the city of the seven hills in your 1 day itinerary, we invite you to discover 7 experiences of Gastronomic tourism in Lisbon.
We hope to welcome you soon!
