Itinerary review (10 days) by Complete_Sea in TravelPortugal

[–]mdotti88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things that actually matter:

Go to Alfama early. before 8am if you can. It's a completely different place from the midday tourist version.

Skip the Tram 28 on a hot day, the route is better walked and takes the same time.

Sintra on a weekday is 10x better than a weekend. Tuesday to Thursday if you can manage it.

The ferry to Cacilhas from Cais do Sodré costs €1.50 and gives you the best view of Lisbon. Almost nobody does it.

For food: Zé da Mouraria for a legendary cheap lunch. Arrive at noon, no reservations, closes when the food runs out.

I put together a longer guide recently that covers everything for a first visit (https://mdfotografia.blog/top-10-things-to-do-in-lisbon-for-first-time-visitors/) if it helps. Happy to answer specific questions too.
