Delightful districts
Ranged over seven hills at the mouth of the Tagus river, Lisbon is made up of several districts, each with a distinct character. Its meandering streets are perfect to explore on foot – though if you start to flag, jump on vintage yellow tram no 28. In Baixa, you’ll find elegant streets and squares. It’s also the location of the 19th-century Santa Justa passenger elevator and viewing platform.
Nearby Alfama is a Moorish enclave that is probably the most Instagrammable neighbourhood. Originally home to fishermen, its medieval streets are lined with houses and shops decorated with colourful tiles (azulejos).
Cafes and kiosks
Take time to chill at an alfresco cafe or kiosk, many of which are located at hilltop terraces (miradouros), where you can gaze across the terracotta rooftops and sample the local cuisine. Why not start with croquettes? This typical bite-sized snack has many fillings, from cod to roast vegetables. Still peckish? Tuck into a bifana, thinly sliced pork marinated with white wine, garlic and paprika; or a prego, garlicky layers of beef spiked with mustard. To drink, try a shot of local cherry liqueur (ginjinha).
Monasteries and pastries
