Experience the Best of Lisbon in Half a Day

Where To Lisbon
Jan 8
2 min read

Short on time? Lisbon still delivers. With half a day, you can see a lot, and eat well while you’re at it.

1. Start in Alfama

Begin in Alfama, the oldest part of the city. Walk the narrow streets, get lost on purpose, and soak up the atmosphere. You’ll hear Fado drifting from restaurants and spot some of the city’s best viewpoints along the way.

If you want the stories behind what you’re seeing (and tasting), a private walking food tour with us is a great way to maximise limited time.

2. Pastel de Nata + espresso break

No Lisbon visit works without a pastel de nata. Stop at Manteigaria or Pastéis de Belém, grab one fresh from the oven, and pair it with an espresso. Simple and perfect.

3. Chase the viewpoints

Lisbon is all about views. Head to:

Senhora do Monte for wide city panoramas
Santa Catarina for river views and a relaxed vibe

They’re ideal for photos or just a short pause before moving on.
