Baixa / Chiado
0.2 miles from downtown
Welcome to Old Lisbon. Baixa’s pedestrian streets exude a charm of yesteryear, with expansive Praça do Comércio embodying Lisbon’s 18th-century grandeur. From there, head uphill to Chiado for a coffee in poet Fernando Pessoa’s old haunt, A Brasileira. Or take the gloriously old-school Santa Justa Elevator up to the roofless beauty of Carmo Convent.
Places to stay from $9 a night
Lisbon City Center
In downtown
There’s so much going on in the city centre, it’s hard to know where to start. Baixa impresses with its architecture and Chiado enchants with its sophistication. Bairro Alto offers night owls a shindig with a view and Avenida Liberdade brims with designer shops. And for a taste of ordinary Lisboeta life, head to the residential streets of Saldanha.
Places to stay from $7 a night
Belem
3.7 miles from downtown
Hail the Age of Discovery! Belém is jam-packed with opulent buildings from Portugal’s golden era, when her explorers ruled the waves. Stand agog at Jerónimos Monastery’s stunning stonework, replete with maritime motifs saluting Vasco da Gama and company. Then set a course for the unique Belém Tower, jutting out into the Tagus like a caravel of old.
Places to stay from $13 a night
Parque das Nacoes
4.5 miles from downtown
A classic for a Sunday stroll. The steel curves and glistening glass of Parque das Nacoes are a far cry from central Lisbon’s old-world splendour. Follow the riverside boardwalk past the array of new-fangled buildings and sculptures. Give your taste buds a fishy treat at a waterfront eatery before feasting your eyes on marine life in the outstanding Oceanarium.
Places to stay from $14 a night
Bairro Alto
0.4 miles from downtown
Bairro Alto has something of the Jekyll and Hyde about it. Climb the quaint cobbles during the day and you’d never guess what night-time antics go on here. The narrow streets fill with revellers who spill out of overflowing bars, plastic cups in hand. Catch the sunset from Park Bar’s terrace before ducking into the maze of watering holes. “Saúde”!
Places to stay from $9 a night
Located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon is one of Portugal's most charming cities. Walk down any of its cobblestone streets and there's a good chance you'll come across some traditional fado music or "pastelarias" serving fresh "pastéis de nata" or custard tarts. The old-fashioned tram 28 is one of the last of its kind still operating in the city, and provides a fun way to get between the popular Graça, Alfama, Baixa, and Estrela districts.
The central Bairro Alto district is a great place to try out some of the capital's famous cuisine. Be sure to order some "bacalhau à Brás" (shredded cod with onions, eggs, and potatoes) or a classic "cozido à portuguesa" stew.
Visit the ancient São Jorge castle and Santa Justa Elevator for a fascinating blend of history and panoramic views. Lisbon is also home to Ponte Vasco da Gama—the longest bridge in Europe—and its sister bridge, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, Ponte 25 de Abril.
Lisbon also has great surfing spots like Carcavelos and Costa da Caparica, offering plenty of long sandy beaches.

St. George's Castle
0.3 miles from downtown
“St. George castle is interesting and well located atop the city. There are soooo many castles in Portugal. If Lisbon is a one time visit, you should definitely see it. But if you have time, there are so many other castles of even greater interest, in my opinion. Certainly Sintra and Mafra close by are, I think more interesting. The convent at Tomar is larger, more complex and full of rich history. The castle at Palmela, to the south is very interesting as is the castle at Montemor between Figueira da Foz and Coimbra.”

This was truly a gret place to experience your first solo...

This was truly a gret place to experience your first solo travel. People are helpful and friendly. I encountered helpful strangers a few times when there was a language barrier or direction issus. There are so many things to see, do and eat.
Lots of sites and restaurants to explore.
March 26, 2019
Lots of sites and restaurants to explore. My wife and I stumbled across the Time Out Market and could not get enough. Easy to access surrounding areas like Sintra and Porto, public transportation is cheap and simple to use.
Lisbon is a charming city with friendly and helpful people.
March 24, 2019
Lisbon is a charming city with friendly and helpful people. Many speak some English. The public transport is excellent. Restaurants of all food types and ethnicities abound. Just don't expect exceptional efficiency. I consider Portugal "1.5 world" -- definitely not 3rd world or developing world, but a little off of first world efficiency. Be patient, have a drink, enjoy the views. It's all fine.
Lisbon is a great place for a time out during the off season.
March 23, 2019
Lisbon is a great place for a time out during the off season. Lots of alternatives for all tastes: history, museums, parks, restaurants, bars, etc. There is a metro station at the airport port terminal that can take you to the heart of the city for the cost of a ticket (1.25 euros). If you are a budget traveler and if you are traveling light, it is a great alternative during the off peak times.
We have been to Lisbon numerous times and love it.
March 23, 2019
We have been to Lisbon numerous times and love it. So much character. Love the many old buildings and squares. Friendly people. Just beware pick pockets. Getting around is very easy on public transportation.
Ease of getting around Lisbon with out a car.
March 22, 2019
Ease of getting around Lisbon with out a car. There are Lifts, trams, carriages, buses, private and group, trains and taxis. Many sites to see such as museums, churches, monuments, government bldg etc. We did a city center "free walking" tour and learned a lot of history and culture of the Portuguese people. Old Town was the most interesting. Weather was great, not to hot but partial sun. We found the food fantastic, and it wasn't always cod fish. Many kinds of seafood or beef and chicken dishes.
