TAKE ELEVADOR DA GLÓRIA TO MIRADOURO DE SÃO PEDRO DE ALCÃNTARA
Set high on a panoramic garden, Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcãntara is one of the best lookout points in Lisbon. Greek busts and ornate fountains give the place a lofty regal feel. It has sweeping views across Lisbon, collecting all the distinctive buildings that make this such an alluring city.

TOUR THE CITY ON TRAM 28
If you were to design the perfect sightseeing route through Lisbon, it would be the number 28 tram. It starts from Martim Moniz, climbs through the narrow streets of Alfama, progresses through Baixa and up the hill to Chiado.

The whole experience is like being in an old movie. The chrome details, the scent of polished wood, the hiss of breaks and the rattle of the ancient machine tackling Lisbon’s hills. It’s an experience worth savouring.

SHOP LIKE THE COOL AT LX FACTORY
LX Factory was an old textile factory that has been converted into a modern and creative space. Located under a railway line, it’s a model of urban renewal. LXF has reused a neglected site, transforming it into a cool place to hang out. The collection of independent shops include break-the-mould design outlets, art supplies, vegan footwear and vintage boutiques.

The restaurant scene is dominated by environmentally considerate modern offerings and traditional Portuguese with a twist. We loved Taberna 1300 for dinner and Landeau Chocolate for their strict adherence to the committed worship of chocolate.

STROLL THE PROMENADE IN BELÉM
Sitting on the banks of the Tagus River, the Belém Tower was initially built to protect Lisbon. As an excellent example of Manueline architecture, it stands near Jerónimos Monastery – two of the city’s celebrations to the Age of Discovery. Unlike Jerónimos, Belém Tower wears its beauty on the outside.

The queue to climb to the top can be oppressive and we actually don’t recommend it. A much better idea is to spend your time strolling the Belém promenade.

BRUSH UP ON MODERN ART AT MUSEU COLEÇÃO BERARDO
Museu Coleção Berardo is Lisbon’s best modern art offering. Located near the popular Belem area, the gallery has two permanent collections; and generally runs two temporary exhibitions along with other project installations.
