Getting into Lisbon
Tram 15E — Scenic waterfront route to the city center. About 15 minutes, 3 euros with a Viva Viagem card.
Taxi or Uber — Plentiful and affordable. About 8-10 euros to Praca do Comercio.
Walking — Possible along the waterfront (30-40 minutes) but Lisbon's hills make it tiring on return.
A Walking Plan for Lisbon
Start at Praca do Comercio, the grand waterfront square. Walk through the Baixa district. Take the Santa Justa Elevator or walk up to the Alfama — the oldest neighborhood with Moorish streets, fado music, and spectacular viewpoints.
If you have time, take Tram 28 through the narrow streets of Alfama and Graca. Tourist-heavy but genuinely spectacular.
What to Eat
Pasteis de nata (custard tarts) are mandatory — eat them warm. Bacalhau (salt cod) is the national dish with hundreds of preparations. Grilled sardines are a Lisbon specialty. A bifana (pork sandwich) is the perfect budget lunch.
Lucy translates Portuguese menus, explains bacalhau preparations, and helps you navigate Lisbon's food scene.
