If you’re doing a Sintra day trip, I would recommend Moorish castle and the Pena Palace. Can buy your tickets online in advance for a slight discount too. View from it is breathtaking.
It's open at 10AM. I suggest that you go here early to avoid the long queues. Also, if you're planning to visit other Sintra sites, best to get the package available at the ticket counter.
The stuff princess stories are made of. It's just magical. The views are stunning. The gardens are magical and enchanting and awesome and tough.
It really looks like what it is on the photo. Gorgeous! We just hiked up the palace from the entrance instead of taking the 3€ transport bus. High cross is worth the hike. The view is phenomenal.
This Lisbon quarter is where you'll find traces of the city's past, with Arab and Roman influences. The medieval alleys and residential neighborhoods are some of the best ways to see the old Lisbon.
Lovely neighbor with historic vibe. Lots of ups & downs. Better to start at the top & go down. Beautiful alleys.
Area lots of fun and great to party. Many small bars w people drinking outside. Best on weekend evenings.
A must visit! Cute streets full of little restaurants and bars. Grab yourself a drink and stand on the streets. Great place for meeting both locals and travelers.
You want to try iconic Tram 28 in Lisbon and want to beat the crowd. Hmmm, go to Campo Ourique/Prazares the other terminus stop of Tram #28, start early and grab a seat by the window.
Another good neighborhood for nightlife, great bars, great food. Also good for a quiet lunch outside on a sunny day
A must-see for all Lisbon visitors. Take the tramway here to go to Belém. Take the lively Rua Augusta by passing through the Arc of Triumph. You can go up the arc for a wonderful view.
Baroque church dating to to 1241, survived 1755 earthquake and 1959 fire. A sea of tea lights illuminate ethereal sculptures in an enchanting interior. Free.
Riverfront promenade with views, people watching, hanging out, coffee. An urban beach.
Nice place, there're a lot of bars and restaurants around. From there you can reach every angle of Lisbon, even by feet. Near the square there's the train station, you can reach Sintra in 40 mins.
Lisbon's most versatile livraria and is equal parts cafe, local art gallery, event venue, and bookstore. Pop in for an espresso, to buy a book, to look at art on both floors, or for a reading. 자세히 보기
The original pastel de nata - you can't miss this when you're in Lisbon. Don't queue for takeaway, go for table seating and order a few with a coffee. Then order a box or two for takeaway!
Everything!! Depends on your choice. When you pay for 2 scoops (Bolas), you actually get a choice of 3 flavours/scoops. Also on a very hot day, might be better to take your ice cream in a cup.
On the “Eater Essential 38” restaurants in Lisbon for a reason! Great quality gelato from this cozy alley way shop. Pistachios in gelato are from Sicily (naturally)
The cocktails are just as fun as the vibe here, outside an actual pharmacy museum. The views of Lisbon are breathtaking. A personal fave
Love the Art Nouveau decor. Feels like time traveling to a previous era, especially since you have to find and ring the doorbell to get in. The main seating area is non-smoking but not smoke free.
What an amazing place to visit!!Incredible atmosphere!Every room is uniquely decorated!Without doubt,the best bar I have visited in Portugal!
Nice viewing point with a beer garden, ideal for a drink with a wonderful view over Lisbon. Must see for tourists, mandatory occasional visit for locals. Free, except for drinks at the beer garden.
This old factory is transformed to a nice small village with nice shops, bars, foods & drinks! Weekend is the best time to go & don't forget to checkout the rooftop on the 4th to have a great view! :)
Established in 1732 and moved after the earthquake, in 1773. This is allegedly the oldest continuously-operating bookstore in the world, predating Paris' Galignani by several decades.
Closed for centuries, reopened in 2015. Lisbon's 2nd biggest park. Superb city and castle views and a shady picnic park with playground, orchard, and peaceful kiosk.
Beautiful garden, small ponds and ducks, better than the botanical garden in Lisbon, free access and great place for picnics. For those who are lazy, there are two cafe places for drinks and food.
Go there without plans. Walk around. Grab some coffee or buy local goods if it's a day with farmer's market. Don't rush it though. Take time to soak it in.
A wonderful museum (ceramics, paintings, household items). Plan at least 3 hours for a visit. Sundays after 14:00 enter free. After the visit, take a walk in the park, it is beautiful
The Church is free & there's no queue. (and better than the Monestary) however if you want to go in, don't stand in the queue. Walk 200m to archaelogy museum & buy your ticket there. Saves an hour!
Impressive architectural ensemble. A must see attraction if you are in Lisbon for more than a day. The petrified visualization of 16th century Portuguese dreams of wealth and pride as a global power.
Would absolutely recommend anyone visiting Lisbon to come here. It is the largest aquarium in Europe and beautiful. Worth buying a ticket for the temporary exhibit as well!
Ultimate tour of Lisbon's sights. Campo de Ourique to Martim Moniz is best direction for getting a seat and dumps you in central Lisbon at the end. 45m of astonishing views.
Glorious food court/market has been slinging cheese, wine, smoked sausages, and other gourmet goodies since 1855. Stroll the stalls and eat.
Wow wow wow!i can day just this! Best seafood in my life,atmosphere was super friendly and magic!highly recommend place! I will back for sure,one of the best places I have ever been!!
My lunch here was like magic. I sat down and was about to order the garlic shrimp, and then they brought me a plate of garlic shrimp. Then I was about to order bread, and it magically arrived.
Amazing food - particularly the sea food at the chef stalls. We had octopus and ceviche and it was super tasty (there's so much choice though)! There's a great atmosphere too
If you and your friend have a different kind of taste about food, here both can choose dishes in different stall but still eat togerher. Love this place, it's clean and the food is tasty.
Amazing food experience. The atmosphere is low-key but the food is high-end. The seitan steak in mushroom sauce is nothing but delicious. And the Oreo Peanut cake will melt in your mouth. Must try! 🤤
OMG OMG OMG. I hunt mexican restaurants and found this place by accident. Best tacos ever. And the cocktail menu? Only Mezcal and tequila based drinks. Can you ask for more?
In Landeau you can find the best hot chocolate and chocolate cake without a doubt.
Come to hear young fado singers and their guests, plus eat delicious portuguese tapas. Each month a different resident musician and they're all great. Live fado on Tue, Wed, Thu & Sun starting @ 21:30
Amazing fado (no cover charge!) and great food (aubergine toast and seafood salad). It's quite small so make sure you book in advance. A great way to hear fado while avoiding the tourist traps!
We had a great Sunday lunch here. If sunny, the outdoor seating is great to enjoy the views over the square. Food was super tasty, with special mention to the shrimp pancakes!
Fantastic cheese shop to sample over 60 top homemade cheeses from small regional producers otherwise inaccessible in the capital. They serve a five-cheese plate with drinks.
The ambiance is super chill and the food is really good. Don’t miss their strawberry sangria and their mushroom coriander appetizer
7 Colinas pizza is a great and unique taste, very very delicious. Service is superb. The house wine is very good as well. Generous portions both in food and drinks.
This is similar to Mercado da Ribeira but on a scale both grander and smaller. This opulent food court is housed in an old palace right near the CNC. Has Five restaurants and a general seating area.
One of my favorite places to buy t-shirts in Europe. Great designs of local motives. So, Happy shopping! :)
Come here for a well-curated selection of homegrown goods (Confiança soaps; Tricana conserves), handicrafts (hand-loomed blankets), and bric-a-brac.
Most alternative art&flea market on the first weekend of every month! Also a lot of other stuff happening just check their website!
Cute gift store with typical Portuguese specialties from different eras. Not cheap, but definitely worth browsing for something special.
Huge street art map, go here to know where local art gems cab be found. Also really special coffee.
Beautiful handmade objects. The artist at the atelier today was super super friendly and welcoming.
This little shop and coffee roaster offers a variety of interesting coffees from all over the world. It's a genuine place - buy some coffee and enjoy the delicate wrapping!
Amazing place with tones of personality, in unexpected location, with a great story behind it. 👏
Amazing collection of boutique home and fashion stores, plus Gin Lovers, in a restored Persian Embassy
Some of the best Francesinhas in Porto, good beers, friendly Staff and lovely place. What can you ask more?
Há muito o que conhecer em Vila Nova de Gaia, para além das caves de vinho. Cidade extremamente agradável, bem cuidada e tranquila, com praias, shoppings, e tudo que uma boa cidade deve ter.
If you want to prove the best wines of the world, you're at the right place! I highly recommend you to try Krohn Port Wines, they are awesome. Especially Dry White Port which is 8 years old.
Porto > N108 for views, or less scenic but much faster A4 & A24 > Peso da Regua > N222, one of Portugal's most stunning drives > Pinhao > double back, then A24 to Lamego
Quaint riverside village makes a perfect base for a few nights. Head out to explore the surrounding Alto Douro, a spectacular UNESCO Heritage Site in recognition of centuries old wine culture.
A-MA-ZING place! I wish we had stayed more in this place. So quiet, so beautiful!!! Staff is really friendly and wine and food are just beyond perfect! I want to come back soon!!!
Loved this place. Super recommended. Good wines and yummy food. Very exclusive place for celebrations.
One of my top 10 restaurant experiences so far. You need to have their tasting menu with wine pairing. The plus is the amazing view to the Douro river.
Family business, very friendly, remember your name when you return, best chocolate EVER! Hot chocolate should be remained to BLISS & my husband says that by far it’s been his best ever Mocha Coffee!!
One of c. Portugal's most appealing small towns. Pedestrian-friendly historic center; pretty riverside park; charming natural setting; UNESCO heritage Convento de Cristo.
Cluster of white-washed houses, cobbled lanes, narrow staircases spills picturesquely down a steep hillside to the rivers. Sleepy, pretty village with lovely square — perfect spot for lunch/stroll.
Breathtaking monument to Portugal's unique history. Don't skip this because you think it's just another church--it's something special. Well explained with descriptions throughout.
Astonishing aqueduct, striding towards the monastery, was build bw 1593-1613 to supply water to thirsty monks. 180 arches, best seen just off Leiria Rd, 2.3km from town. You can climb on top.
The inside of the cathedral is one if the most impressive I've ever seen. No Photos allowed, which makes perfect sense. You must see this in person. Incredible carving and gild work.
If you see 1 church in Porto, this is it. The nave should be high on your list. Eerily atmospheric catacombs where Porto citizens were once buried. Powerful sacred art and sculptural works.
Fantastic place, worth visiting. Entrance is at each half hour in different languages so you need to wait for your group.
Paris has the Eiffel tower we have D. Luís bridge. Contemplate this wonder of engineering from the XIX century from Gaia side and cross the upper deck to see a wonderfull view of Porto.
Public walking area along the river with lots of restaurants and shops. Avoid the one in front, backstreeta are also beautiful and with better restaurants. Great to see and experience the town.
If you haven't visited the train station, you should go back to Porto and visit it. It's breathtaking. Come here early to avoid the crowds
The main square in porto and historic too. Lot of events happen around here all the time. Thebcenter of downtown porto. A must see place.
For just a few euros you can see an amazing view of porto and learn about the history of the tower as well in a little museum. Super fun way to see the city
Highest tower in Porto. Worth the fatigue of the steps to the top to get a 360 degrees view of the city and bay
Lively pedestrian street that is constantly animated by artists with various talents. Many shopping options, from traditional to modern stores. Filled with tourists but not to be missed!
Great that the market tradition lived on while the original building is being restored. The temporary location misses the historic feeling of the original, but the diversity of produce is impressive.
A free museum that used to be a prison! Enjoy the great views and an amazing collection of vintage cameras
A small park near the tower. Nothing particularly special, but good for a nice, short stroll.
Truly the best place to have breakfast/brunch!!!! Deliiiiiicious and super cozy atmosphere! And also any type of good coffee, that you won't find in many places here.
Massive piece of stunning nature in the middle of the city! Take a relaxing walk and don't forget to bring picknick stuff. Great view over the river.
The treetop walk is such a great idea! Discover trees from a unique perspective. It is awesome that it was built sustainably and helps visitors discovering nature in a captivating way.
One of the best parks in Europe, bring comfy shoes and spare time. It’s absolutely beautiful and chill
Robalo baked in salt is perfect. Had this dish 2 times in 1.5 yrs. And it's as good as ever. Starters: clams. Wine: both times asked for a recommendation for a wine with good minerality - was perfect
Lovely walk in Porto. Peacocks are kind of aggressive. Great place to watch sunset.
Biblioteca fantástica numa localização única! Boa selecção de livros, recursos multimédia, wifi gratuito e condições de conforto &iluminação
Find an excuse to go. Figure out whoever is playing and go never if you're not a big fan. The venue is beautiful. Then go up to the 7th floor for a panoramic view.
Pleasant surprise so full of diversity in flora, walkways, built spaces, modern, ancient... special space to take a break within the city!
Don't miss a trip to this area of porto where there are virtually no tourists! Take a ride on Tram #1!
Clothes, homewear, jewellery, oliveira oil, Wine, books, furniture, surf design, experiences, soaps, antiques, lamps...
We went for a classic tour with tasting at the end. It cost 15€ and it is well worth it. After the tour, you can stop at Vinum restaurant which is a bit pricey, but the view of Porto is spectacular.
Take a trip to the Museu de Serralves to see some fantastic contemporary art exhibitions and explore the magnificent gardens.
Chic and trendy restaurant with good seafood. We had the tiger prawns and they were very fresh!
Vegan and vegetarian buffet, with tasty and healthy food, infusion of the day and kind staff. You can refill your dish as much as you want.
Best sandwiches in Porto! Also, lunch deal is great (soup + sandwich + drink for 6€)!
Every dish was delicious!! The starter of vegetarian sausage in pastry and the mushroom, chestnuts and truffle oil soup were superb! Desserts were great too!
Muy buena música rock suave de fondo. Precioso lugar para tomarse algo tranquilo en una zona espectacular.
Super friendly staff, delicious cocktails and beautiful live acoustic music. Can’t rate this place more highly, make sure you check it out.
Great street market on Tuesdays and Saturdays, do reserve a few hours to stroll the whole area. Best prices on souvenirs.
Amazing museum in Lisbon, very beautiful catalog of Azulejos and a magnificent 18th century chapel in amazing state. This museum, as many in portugal is free of charge in the 1st Sunday of every month
Beautiful and quiet, out of the beaten path but very worth the visit! The gardens and the azulejos (typical Portuguese tiles) are amazing. Enjoy!
What a beautiful specialty coffee shop in Porto, probably the best coffee in Portugal. Amazing staff and very friendly , you feel like at home there! I will recommend to everyone that loves coffee!
