Shopping

If you're after an original souvenir of Portugal, this absorbing handicraft-hardware store is probably where you'll find it. Items on sale here are represented by brands that have been manufactured in the country for generations, and the inventory lists some of the nation's most cherished goods. There are fragrant soaps from Brito/Claus Porto (Oprah raved about them on her show) displayed in colourful and stylish retro wrapping paper, and Benamor Cream boxed in similarly eye-catching designs. For the kitchen, look out for the aromatic vinegars from Moura Alves and gourmet sea salt (Flor de Sal) from the Algarve. There are also toiletries, stationary, books, toys and even jewellery.

Food Scene

This cosy cafe-bar is housed in a former convent building. The present owners have decorated the place with some really cool retro furniture and devised a menu that includes delicious dishes and some fantastic salads. A range of teas. It's a breakfast-brunch haunt for an offbeat crowd and the alternative ambiance is tangible.

Recalling old grocery stores and taverns, this space brings to the present the ambience and traditions from Lisbon's past. Its meals follow long-forgotten recipes, from cod dishes to meat sandwiches. Open throughout the day, it has a lunch menu and a list of "petiscos" (tapas) for dinner. In the afternoon there's a "happy hour" with small plates accompanying drinks, and there is always a space for grocery products from small producers, such as organic bread and canned foods that may be enjoyed at the table.

French chef David Eyguesier honed his skills at Pois Café, then his own underground restaurant at home before opening this sorely needed Alfama gem whose name loosely translates as 'The Truants' (he 'skipped' culinary school!). His daily-changing, market-fresh set menus delight under a spiderweb of modern lighting, beautiful geometric cabinetry and an open kitchen. No microwave. No freezer!

Drinks & Nightlife

Open for over 50 years, this is one of Lisbon's oldest fado houses. A firm favourite with locals, many of whom have grown up with the redoubtable Argentina Santos, the fadista who owns and runs the restaurant and who often takes to the floor to sing, The venue is cosy and intimate and the atmosphere very authentic.

Who would have thought that a former bakery would turn into one of the trendiest bars in Bairro Alto? Some of the furniture and machinery (including a wood oven on the wall) remain from the bakery. It has a welcoming ambience and an atypically-large interior (by Bairro Alto standards), but of course most still prefer to follow the old Bairro Alto tradition by standing outside. On weekdays the sounds are relaxing lounge music, while on weekends it tends to be house.

A former guesthouse that was essentially a brothel is now one of Lisbon's most memorable bars. It has a classic-naughty cabaret decor spread over several rooms.

Who would have thought that the top of a small multiethnic shopping center would become one of the city's trendiest spots? But the reason is the beautiful view of the castle and the "petiscos" (tapas) and drinks available. The best time to enjoy the views and a cocktail is at sunset, but both the interior and exterior space also invite you to stay well into the night.

Sightseeing

Lisbon's monumental aqueduct is one of the world's most remarkable hydraulic and engineering constructions of all time, and is part of the award-winning Water Museum. It was built in the 1700s to provide clean drinking water to the city, and had the tallest stone arches in the world when it was built (the largest is 65m/213ft high). Its 109 arches survived the 1755 earthquake that destroyed practically everything else in the city, and you may now walk over them during a visit.

Lisbon's castle stands on top of the city's highest hill, and offers the most breathtaking view of the city and river. Partially ruined, partially restored, it's a romantic vision that's survived for a thousand years.

Poets and travelers have always described it as an eden, and a visit to Lisbon isn't over without a visit to Sintra's fairy tale castles and palaces, especialy to Pena Palace. It's a romantic and mysterious place surrounded by nature, classified as a World Heritage Site, and the best way to see it all is on an organized tour. Many tours also stop by Queluz Palace, by the Mafra Palace and at Cabo da Roca nearby, Europe's westernmost point.

Belém is known as the historic district of the Age of Discovery. It was from its waterfront that Vasco da Gama and other explorers departed for their voyages, events celebrated today by grand monuments and museums in the neighborhood. The sensational architecture of the Tower of Belem and Jeronimos Monastery (both World Heritage Sites) is the result of the discovery of the sea route to India, the opening of trade with Japan, and the colonization of Brazil and parts of Africa and Asia. These monuments are adorned and embellished with motifs of exotic lands elaborately carved in stone, as are the heroes of the age on the colossal Discoveries Monument.

A group of abandoned 19th century warehouses and factories is now Lisbon's biggest hub of creativity, an "island" in the center of the city for companies related to art, fashion, advertising, and design. There are also a few cafés and shops to serve not just those who work here, but also visitors. Every space has an industrial look, attracting curious crowds to regular events like "Open Day," with exhibitions, music, and other activities throughout the day. Every Sunday there's an open-air market of a variety of products, from second-hand articles to original crafts.

Arts & Culture

This iconic piece of modern architecture on the waterfront was designed by British architect Amanda Levete and opened in the fall of 2016. It stands next to a former power plant which was previously the Electricy Museum, and which is now also part of the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. Both buildings present temporary exhibitions of major international and local artists, directed by the former curator of contemporary architecture of New York’s MoMA.
