About Lisbon
Lisbon is a city of viewpoints and steep climbs. Ride Tram 28 up through Graça, then walk down through Alfama's tiled alleys, where fado drifts out of tiny tascas after dark. The miradouros are the city's living rooms, best at sunset with a glass of vinho verde. Eat pastéis de nata warm in Belém, browse LX Factory's bookshops, and graze under one roof at the Mercado da Ribeira. Walk downhill when you can, and keep a day free for Sintra or Cascais.
Best time: March–June, September–October
