Climb up, see the view early, and accept getting lost on the way down.

Lisbon
Generous, if you do not underestimate the hills.
You can plan Lisbon as a flat city. You will live it as a hilly one. A ten-minute walk is sometimes a climb. Count the pause as part of the route.
Do not stack Belém on a day in the center. That half day is a monastery and a pastry shop. The city itself wants a day of its own.
Highlights
- The first tram of the morning
- A miradouro, early
- Belém as its own half day
Neighborhoods
Príncipe Real
Dinner, and fewer postcards. You are at the top of the hill here.
Belém
Think of it apart from the center. Go before noon and linger in the pastry shop.
At a glance
- Tram 28, in the morning
- A hill terrace
