Travel Tips for Lisbon Adventure

Lisbon was wonderful. Be sure to wear comfy, non-slip footwear. The city's hilly terrain and slick cobblestone sidewalks can be quite treacherous. We highly enjoyed Santiago de Alfama as our hotel choice; the staff there is truly exceptional. We experienced Fado/dinner at Parreirinha Alfama and took a walking tour around Lisbon with we world experience. This 3-hour tour included a boat ride to Belem and was perfect for our small group of 5. Our day trip to Sintra and Cascais with we hate tourism was a hit, with Nuno being an exceptional guide. Note that the tour does not cover Peña Palace, so consider another option if that's on your list. Ubers are conveniently used throughout the city and come at very reasonable prices. Our dinner at Baixamar was superb and memorable.
