Lisbon: A Mini Guide

Lisbon: A Mini Guide

Lisbon is one of those cities that I know we’ll keep going back to throughout our lives. This beautiful city has so much to offer. The hills are a huge part of the charm, the views from so many different locations are breathtaking. The tile buildings here are beautiful and so unique. The trolleys and funiculars add to the experience and make traversing the city so much fun. The food is excellent, there are so many options, and so much to see. It is easy to understand why Lisbon is a popular place of residence for expats from all over the world, we could actually see ourselves living in Lisbon some day, too. I have been to Lisbon multiple times so I have a lot of recommendations here!  Hopefully you can pick and choose what suits you best on your stay in Lisbon! The things I've listed should give you more than enough to do for a few days. This guide will include everything I've personally done in Lisbon with honest details about each location. I will also list some wish-list spots in a section at the end that includes things that I still haven't done yet in Lisbon that I have planned and researched and hope to do on a future visit.

Where to Stay

Hotel Mundial
@planformedani
This is such a nice hotel, it is centrally located and VERY comfortable and clean. It has an amazing rooftop restaurant and bar that has views all over Lisbon! We could have spent half our time just hanging out here! It was hard to drag ourselves away from the rooftop! I would highly recommend this hotel!

Things to Do/See

We Hate Tourism Tours
@planformedani
My cousin who studied abroad in Lisbon recommended that we use this tour company. We did a food tour with them and absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend looking into the tours they offer in Lisbon and finding one that suits you.

Santa Justa Lift
@planformedani
The lift is beautiful to see and it's definitely worth passing by this beautiful elevator. There also used to be a bar right at the top with incredible views. It says it is closed right now but I'm hoping something new will take it's place!

Belém Tower
@planformedani
The Belem Tower is a beautiful site to see. We got to see at as part of our tour with "We Hate Tourism" this way we didn't have to get ourselves there and back! So this can be a good idea! It's also just great to see if you have more time in Lisbon.

Ροζ Οδός
@planformedani
The Pink Street is honestly just a pretty spot for photos and to walk around. There are many bars and restaurants lining this street as well!

Castelo de S. Jorge
@planformedani
The castle is really neat to see and also has great views over Lisbon! I would definitely recommend going early this place gets crowded as you can imagine.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years. One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself. My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip! My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
