    Wow, it was really amazing, I liked how it organized.
    Also, I liked seeing the penguins for the first time in my life (to be honest all of them😅)
    I recommend bring your kids and enjoy the beautiful time here

    We had a great time exploring the Alfama while in Lisboa. Beautiful, old buildings and traditions. We wandered around and got lost on the narrow side streets, always finding beautiful sights ❤️

    I visited Praça do Comércio on a sunny day and was blown away by the grandeur of the architecture and the stunning views of the Tagus River. The square is massive and filled with very nice restaurants and shops. It's a great place to take a stroll or just sit and people-watch. I particularly enjoyed the arches and the statue of King Jose I in the center of the square. It's a must-visit when in Lisbon!

    Great location, didn’t go in as the queue was very long but lots to do around the area and the views were great! Would recommend hire a scooter and going down the front!

    The castle offers a nice spread-out area for strolling and relaxing, with some wonderful views over the city and the Tagus. Visitors can walk around the top of the walls and see a few remains of the medieval castle; the museum is worth a visit, but the archaeological site is mostly covered up and inaccessible. The (free) camera obscura is worth a visit even if it is in a foreign language (they vary between English and Portuguese, I think).

    Top tips: take the 737 bus to the top of the hill (trams are generally packed) and if there is a long queue for tickets at the castle, just buy tickets online (or buy them in advance) and walk straight in!

    It's a beautiful area of Lisbon. Even though I am portuguese, I never get tired of walking around those streets. Plenty of tourists but still very authentic. Various nice cafés, good restaurants, and beautiful shops. Careful though with the Chiado Eyeglass Factory in Rua Garrett. They sell most of the international brands of sun glasses but extremely overpriced.

    I was at the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte yesterday and loved the view of the city from the top there. I then withdrew €80 from the very popular, sole ATM near the viewpoint. This morning I happened to check the balance of the credit card I used there to discover, to my horror, that €525 (= £449) had been taken from my credit card at that ATM. My credit card organisation said that cards are often cloned at ATMs near popular tourist spots and they assured me that I should get my money back.
    I won’t be able to relax until I do.
    I just wanted to warn you not to use that ATM.

    took train from lisbon station by the Time Out market. easy as the line starts there. so u get off at Belem and then return on the opposite side of the track and there's a bridge that you use to enter and exit Belem station so getting lost on this line would be difficult.
    however, the train is not like the subway and there is no notification as to where you are stopping at any stop. luckily we were looking left out of the window in the direction we were travelling and saw a Belem sign on the platform.

    the monument is impressive and worth seeing from both sides. we never went up to admire the view but it's still worth seeing. it's close to Belem tower and also over the road from a nice monastery/church.

    was on our list of things to do in lisbon and we are glad we went to see it

    An impressive arch overlooking the square and Rue de Augusta, there are great views from the top and it’s certainly worth making the effort to go up there. There is a ticket office just behind the arch, with a ticket being priced at €3.50. The young lady serving was a bit miserable, no smile or anything, but other than that it was all simple enough. The bulk of the journey up is by elevator, but there are two very narrow, winding staircases which operate a one-way system controlled by traffic lights so you don’t meet anyone coming the other way!

    Saw every animal except the elusive Iberian Lynx. Dolphin show was excellent. Really enjoyed the chair lift across the park. The zoo had a lot of people but not enough to feel crowded. Great time of year to go

    The tram is definitely worth doing, but even in September it is VERY crowded. We were staying at the Corpo Santa hotel (very nice - would recommend) and the stop is just around the corner but it is confusing to know which direction to catch the correct tram. The stops could probably benefit with some additional clearer English instructions.

    Several 28 trams passed us without stopping as they were totally full, so we caught the #12 which goes in the same direction. It was much less crowded and stills goes past the São Jorge Castle. It continues on to the the terminus outside the Hotel Mundial.

    The queues for the return trams are enormous. I'd recommend taking an Uber back to the centre of town for around 5 or 6 Euros.

    Overall I'd recommend the tram trip. It's 3 Euros to ride one direction, but you can get a VIVA card for 6 Euros which allows all day travel. You have to buy it from a metro or bus station. The tram winds its way through loads of interesting streets and shopping areas. Well worth it, but get an Uber back.

    This is an attractive lookout with expansive views over parts of the city, and there are fountains, benches and a cafe. The lookout can be accessed from the lower town area by the elevador Gloria. Also nearby is the fascinating Church of Sao Roque.

    A great view of the bridge as we passed under on the cruise ship. A carbon copy of the Golden Gate Bridge in California. Well worth a visit.

    With over 300 shops, 60 restaurants for every taste, several cinemas and a bowling center, Centro Colombo is the largest shopping center in Lisbon and one of the largest in Europe. It convinces with a wide range of shops for every need, moderate prices, free WiFi, cleanliness as well as a post-modern architecture and a very good metro connection with the blue line. For those arriving by car, there is a huge multi-storey underground car park, which is also used for the Benfica football stadium directly opposite. Centro Colombo is perfect for shopping on a rainy day!! 🛍🛍🛍
