Day 1 - 7 Mar 2022
Humberto Delgado Airport
Content: Arriving Lisbon airport. Airport isn’t big and it’s easily accessible from the city, either by bus or metro. I took taxi- the best will be Bolt or Uber.Tip: go to Metro and bus stop- it’s easier for taxi.
TURIM Alameda Hotel
Content: I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. Nice comfy clean hotel for those on a moderate budget. Not in the main tourist area, but metro station is very near. Good variety for breakfast!
Parque Eduardo VII
Content: Took a metro to São Sebastião and walked about 7 minutes. An absolutely stunning park right in the middle of the city. Highly recommend!
Avenida da Liberdade
Content: Then I walked about 10 minutes and arrived to Avenida da Liberdade. A great avenue to stroll and look at these expensive stores( Louis Vuitton, Gucci etc)
Amélia Lisboa

Miradouro de Santa Luzia
Content: Took a taxi as it was early in the morning. I arrived there before sunrise. Miradouro de Santa Luzia is one of the famous viewpoints in Lisbon. As it’s going to be very crowded in sunset time, I decided to visit early in the morning. Coming at early morning you will find it more special. Quiet and the light is so good for photography 😊

TURIM Alameda Hotel
Content: Back to the hotel for having a breakfast and quick shower before going to Castelo de S. Jorge.
Castelo de S. Jorge
Content: One of the best places to see in Lisbon. The views are amazing there's so many places to see and walk around. There were stunning peacocks everywhere the grounds were meticulously kept clean and the workers were extremely friendly. I ended up staying for at least an hour and a half it cost 10 euros per person and it is well worth the money.
Santa Justa Lift
Content: Going to another amazing viewpoint. The lift is an extraordinary fixture in Lisbon with its metallic exterior but still manages to blend in perfectly with the city. I did not take the lift itself (as there was quite a row) but climbed the streets to the top, which allowed exploring the neighbourhood and offered nice views of the city from the top. This is a must see if you visit Lisbon. Admission fee is 5.30 euros!
Augusto Lisboa
Content: Trendy, adorable cafe. Very chill vibe and beautifully decorated. There was a line out the door when I arrived, so you know the food must be amazing. I chose to wait and was not disappointed! I ordered Avocado Toast and it was absolutely delicious! The waitresses were attentive and so sweet!
Avenida Ribeira das Naus
Content: Coming back to the hotel and relax a bit. I decided to have a little walk near to the river.
Commerce Square
Content: Walked to Praça do Comércio as it’s very near to the river. It’s one of my the famous sights in Lisbon and it can be very busy. I went to back to the hotel around 9pm. As I woke up very early, I was already in bed 10 pm.

Cabo da Roca
Content: Really beautiful area at the western most edge of Europe. There's a small monument along with a couple buildings and shops near by. The trails near by are short but the views are beautiful.
