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
