Throughout this Lisbon walking tour, you’ll visit multiple districts, including Baixa, Chiado, and Bairro Alto. Each of these districts is home to delicious dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. At Bairro Alto, you’ll have the chance to visit a local wine bar and indulge in tasty tapas and a glass of white wine. Save room for codfish cake and green wine at a traditional Portuguese tavern. Despite its name, green wine is not actually green; it’s more of a reference to the wine’s young age, which leads to a lighter taste.
Aside from wine, you’ll get to try Portugal’s famous cherry liqueur, Ginja, and finish up with some delectable sausage (chorizo) with red wine and tapas inside a historic palace. Cheers!

Lisbon, the enchanting capital of Portugal, entices sightseers with its vibrant color, stunning Gothic architecture, and temperate weather. Easily traversed by foot or tram, the city’s distinct quarters and vivid cultural landmarks make Lisbon an excellent spot for exploration.
The Alfama district’s notable red roofs beckon you. Its cobblestoned roads lead to the Castelo de São Jorge, once a Roman and Moorish stronghold, as well as a number of charming cafés and clubs. Alfama’s Museo do Fado offers fascinating exhibitions on the Fado genre of Portuguese music, whose melodic sounds can be heard throughout the neighborhood. A trek northeast of the Alfama district will bring you to the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, a museum displaying the intricate and colorful Portuguese tiles that line the city’s buildings. Be sure to venture south of Alfama to the central Baixa district, where the magnificent Rua Augusta Arch entices visitors to stroll the Praça de Comércio square. Head to the city’s waterfront Belém neighborhood for a spectacular view of the sparkling Tagus River and incredible beaches. Lisbon's two UNESCO World Heritage sites are also located in the Belém district: the mighty Belém Tower and the sumptuous Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. Located on the water’s edge, Belém Tower is a small castle that once welcomed Portuguese explorers. The Monastery of St. Jerome was constructed to exalt Vasco de Gama’s exploration of India. There is so much to discover in captivating Lisbon! |
