Day 1: Explore Alfama and the Old Town
Start your day with breakfast at Pastelaria Manteigaria, known for its pastel de nata. Pair it with a bica (espresso). These custard tarts have a history dating back to the 18th century when monks used egg whites for starch in their clothes and used the leftover yolks for pastries.
