faq.title
faq.subtitle Lisbon
Lisbon is moderately priced for Western Europe. Budget travelers can manage €45-65/day, mid-range €100-150/day. Attractions are pricey but food and transport are affordable.
Iconic but extremely crowded with tourists and pickpockets. If you must, go early morning or late evening. Alternative: Tram 12E covers similar route with fewer crowds.
Yes, especially popular houses in Alfama and Bairro Alto. Minimum consumption usually €20-30. Some casual tasquinhas have spontaneous fado without booking.
Iconic Portuguese custard tarts. Try the original at Pastéis de Belém (1837). Cost €1-2 each. Eat warm, sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar!
Metro Red Line is cheapest (€2, 20-30 min). Uber/Bolt cost €7-12. Taxi €12-20. Metro runs 06:30-01:00. Airport is only 7km from center.
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Lisbon
Get a Navegante card (€0.50) and load it with Zapping credit. Each trip costs €1.66 instead of €1.85, and it works on metro, buses, trams, and even ferries.
Visit Belém on a Sunday morning. The Jerónimos Monastery is free until 14:00, and the pastéis de Belém are still warm!
Don't miss the miradouros (viewpoints). Best free ones: Portas do Sol, Santa Luzia, Senhora do Monte, and Graça. Perfect at sunset!
Wear comfortable shoes! Lisbon's cobblestones (calçada portuguesa) are beautiful but treacherous, especially on hills and when wet.
Day trip to Sintra (40 min by train, €4.60 return). Magical palaces like Pena and Quinta da Regaleira. Go early to avoid crowds!
