Insider Tips for Lisbon

✓ The Lisboa Card (24/48/72h) covers all public transport plus free entry to 30+ museums and monuments
✓ Wear flat shoes with good grip — Lisbon's hills and cobblestones are treacherous in heels or sandals
✓ Tram 28 is a tourist attraction but also a pickpocket hotspot — consider walking the same route instead
✓ Pastéis de nata from Manteigaria (Chiado) rival the famous Pastéis de Belém at half the queue time
✓ Many hotels in Alfama are in converted palaces — ask for a room with Tagus River views
