Lisbon is my favourite city to travel to because of the people, the weather, the food, and, yes, I could go on and on.
I’ve tried to collect the most common questions about Lisbon. If you have another question which isn’t answered here, feel free to reach out to me.
This is almost a religious question in Lisbon, and I’ve tried all the places worth trying. In my opinion, you get the best pastel de nata from Manteigaria.
Some of the top attractions include the Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, Alfama district, LX Factory, and the Praça do Comércio.
Lisbon has a comprehensive public transportation system, including buses, trams, and the metro. The iconic Tram 28 is popular among tourists. The metro system is efficient and covers most of the city. Additionally, walking is a great way to explore the city’s narrow streets and historic neighbourhoods.
Some popular tourist neighbourhoods include Baixa, Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Alfama. Each has its unique charm and is central to many attractions.
You should try dishes like “bacalhau à bras” (shredded cod with eggs and potatoes), “pastel de nata” (a creamy egg tart), and “caldo verde” (green soup with chorizo). Also, don’t miss out on tasting the variety of Portuguese wines and cheeses.
Lisbon is a year-round destination, but the best times are usually spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and there are fewer crowds. The summer can be hot and crowded, while the winters are mild.
