From the classic Belém and Alfama, to lesser-known spots worth adding to your trip.
Spend a half day in Belém, the riverside district where Portugal's seafaring age left its grandest monuments. Walk the waterfront past the Monument to the Discoveries and Belém Tower, and finish with a pastel de nata.
Lose yourself in Alfama, the labyrinth of lanes that forms Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood. Climb tiled stairways, pause at miradouros overlooking the red rooftops and river, and follow the sound of fado to a tiny local tasca.
Stroll through Baixa, the orderly downtown grid Lisbon built after the 1755 earthquake. Walk Rua Augusta beneath the triumphal arch, then step out onto Praça do Comércio and its wide open view of the Tagus.
Wander Chiado, Lisbon's elegant literary quarter between Baixa and Bairro Alto. Browse old bookshops and traditional storefronts, pause at a historic café, and enjoy the theatrical street life of this hillside district.
