Lisbon is an amazing city my friends! Be prepared for the hills, and wear comfortable non-slip shoes or sneakers. I talk more about some options in my post on COMFORTABLE SNEAKERS. The limestones throughout Lisbon and all of Portugal can be slippery even without any rain so be prepared with proper footwear. Remember you can easily get Uber, Lyft or cabs as well.
I recommend using Google maps or the Wanderlog app to help you navigate the directions. You can waste a lot of time going back and forth to different areas of the city, otherwise. Wanderlog uses Google Maps, and this is where I’ve pulled the below itinerary screenshots from.
Day One – Belem & Alfama
Belem:📍1-5
Belem Tower is being worked on, but you can still see it from the outside.
CLOSED on MONDAY: Jeronimos Monastery and
LX Factory and Alfama 📍6-10
Day 2 – Av. da Liberdade, Rossio Sq., Baixa, Chiado,
There is a lot to see today! Starting on the famous Avenida de Liberdade at the statue of Pombal. These are some main highlights to see.
Visit the Santa Justa Lift
Skip the line
Hot tip: skip the line. Walk up from the top and take the spiral stairs for the same view.
Livraria Bertrand, located in the Chiado neighborhood of Lisbon, is renowned as the oldest bookstore in the world. If you buy a book there, remember to ask them to stamp the inside cover that you purchased it there. It’s in the Guiness book of world records.
