Why we featured this post
A solid first-timer's overview of Lisbon from the team at FREETOUR.com. It walks through the big landmarks in Belém and downtown, the hilltop neighbourhoods of Alfama, Chiado and Bairro Alto, and the best miradouros for sunset views. The practical advice is the most useful part. It says when the Lisboa Card is worth it, gives honest warnings about Tram 28's lines and pickpockets, and suggests getting to Belém at opening time. Itineraries run from 3 days to a week, with Sintra and Cascais as day trips.
