About Lisbon
City overview
Lisbon is a Tagus River capital built across seven hills, with Alfama lanes, Baixa Pombalina grids, Bairro Alto climbs, and Belém monuments showing how the 1755 earthquake and Atlantic navigation shaped the city. Baixa and Chiado make the central walking spine, Alfama and Graça hold the older Moorish street pattern, and Parque das Nações adds the Expo 98 riverfront east of the center.
Food & drink
Lisbon food centers on pastéis de nata, bacalhau à brás, grilled sardines, caldo verde, bifana sandwiches, amêijoas à Bulhão Pato, ginjinha, and seafood rice. Time Out Market in Mercado da Ribeira, Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, Belém pastry shops, Alfama fado restaurants, and Cais do Sodré counters give the most useful first eating route.

Neighborhoods
1Alfama and Graça
Alfama and Graça are steep, irregular, and old, with São Jorge Castle, Lisbon Cathedral, fado rooms, miradouros, tile walls, and tram 28 passing tight corners.
2Baixa and Rossio
Baixa is the 1755 earthquake rebuild, with Rua Augusta, Praça do Comércio, Rossio, Praça da Figueira, and flat streets that make the easiest first-day walk.
3Chiado and Bairro Alto
Chiado and Bairro Alto sit above Baixa with Carmo ruins, theatres, bookstores, Rua Garrett shops, tiny bars, fado rooms, and elevators or funiculars for the climb.
Day trips
30km / about 40min by train from Rossio station
Sintra
Sintra has Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle, Quinta da Regaleira, forested hills, and a cooler microclimate. Start early because palace buses and ticket lines crowd by late morning.
32km / about 40min by train from Cais do Sodré
Cascais
Cascais adds beaches, marina walks, Boca do Inferno, and easy access to Estoril along the coast. It is the simplest sunny afternoon outside Lisbon.
135km / about 1.5h by train or bus from Lisbon
Évora
Évora has Roman temple columns, medieval walls, whitewashed Alentejo streets, and the Chapel of Bones. It is a longer day than Sintra but gives a different inland Portugal frame.
Getting around
Use Navegante cards for Lisbon Metro, Carris buses, trams, funiculars, suburban trains, and ferries; metro lines are strongest for airport, Baixa-Chiado, Santa Apolónia, and Oriente. Tram 15E reaches Belém from the center, tram 28E crosses Alfama and Bairro Alto hills, and walking works best inside Baixa, Chiado, and Alfama if cobblestones and slopes are manageable.
