Lisbon travel guide (Part 2): perfect slow-paced experience from brunch to market

#2024 Travel Review Day3: (Alfama District) Brunch: Dear Breakfast > Pica Elevator > Lunch: TimeOut Market (Manteigaria Egg Tart) > Rainbow Umbrella Road R. Nova do Carvalho > Livraria Bertrand Chiado Oldest Bookstore > Santa Justa Elevator > Carmo Convent > Shopping > Praça da Figueira Market If you want to experience Lisbon in one day, start with a great brunch! The first recommendation is Dear Breakfast, a very famous brunch restaurant in Lisbon, especially the branch we chose this time, which is very cute. If you are lucky enough to sit by the window, you can eat while watching the classic yellow Tram slowly pass by. It is a very healing scene. Their meals are not only healthy but also really delicious. Highly recommended! After brunch, the next stop was the #Elevador da Bica. In the narrow alleys, colorful houses are matched with cobblestone roads, and there are retro elevators slowly moving upwards. The scene is full of romance (although there are also many people). Don’t forget to take a few more photos when you reach the top. Every shot is beautiful. During lunch time, you can go to TimeOut Market, which is truly a foodie’s paradise! There are all kinds of food stalls, from seafood to barbecue, and you can also eat authentic Lisbon specialties. The point is, remember to save some space for the Portuguese egg tart in #Manteigaria! The crispy tart crust paired with the fragrant egg and milk filling makes you feel extremely happy the moment you take a bite. After eating and drinking, you can take a walk along R. Nova do Carvalho, which is super famous for its rainbow umbrellas and is also one of the popular Instagram check-in spots in Lisbon. Next, let’s experience the #ElevadordeSantaJusta! This Gothic-style elevator is not only a means of transportation, but also a great place to get a panoramic view of the city. The #Convento do Carmo next to the elevator is also worth a visit. The roof of this monastery was damaged by an earthquake, but the remaining arched structure, combined with the blue sky, is so beautiful that it looks like a postcard no matter how you photograph it. Finally, the itinerary ends at the #Praça da Figueira Market, where you can visit the handicraft stalls and pick up a few local souvenirs to bring the trip to a perfect end. Although the slopes of Lisbon are a bit unbearable for your legs, its richness and leisurely atmosphere will definitely make you feel that it is worth the money!
