4 days10 Dec (wed)11 Dec (Thurs)12 Dec (Fri)13 Dec (Sat)14 Dec (Sun)15Dec (Mon) 11am to airport

Day 1: Start your daydowntown, downAvenida da LiberdadetoRossio Squarebefore strolling through the pedestrianisedRua AugustatoComercio Square, where you can hop on tram 15 toBelem. Go inside the cloisters ofJeronimos Monasteryand take a break atAntiga Confeitaria de Belemto have one of its legendary custard tarts. Then take the underpass from the monastery's gardens to cross the road to theDiscoveries Monument. Walk along the waterfront from there toBelem Tower. Return down the same road and choose among the several museums nearby - theCoaches Museumand theBerardo Museumare two favorites, while theMaritime Museumis a good choice if you become curious about Portugal's maritime past. For lunch you may want to consider one of the international restaurants inDocas(take the train from Belem station to Alcantara-Mar, and walk in the direction of25 de Abril Bridge), or if you decide to stay inBelemto explore one more museum or perhaps to visitAjuda Palace, there are good-value traditional Portuguese restaurants in the pretty row of buildings along Rua Vieira Portuense facing the park between the monastery andBelem Palace.Backdowntown, walk upChiadoand have some coffee or a refreshing drink atBrasileira CafeorCafe Benard. Walk up toSo Roque Churchfor its splendid baroque chapels (and if you didn't decide to stay inBelemfor the afternoon, there is still time to visit the gothic ruins and eclectic museum ofCarmo Church), followed by a stop atMiradouro de So Pedro de Alcantarafor the sunset over the city. It is now dinnertime, so step into the cobbledBairro Altostreets and choose among the variousrestaurants. After a long, relaxed dinner, join the localsbar-hopping through the neighborhood. If it is a Friday or Saturday night, you will stumble across what has to be Europe's biggest bar crawl.

Day 2:Take the metro toParque das Nasand visit theOceanarium. Walk along the waterfront to admire the impressive modern architecture of the surroundings (including the seemingly-endlessVasco da Gama Bridge), before heading toAlfama. Wander around the maze of narrow streets, stopping at themiradourosbefore walking up to thecastle. You may want to choose to visit theTile Museum(take a taxi) orSo Vicente de Fora Church, or go straight to thecastleif it is now late afternoon - you don't want to miss the sunset as you stand above the city. If you did not have lunch at the populardocaswhen you visitedBelem, it is perhaps a good idea to head there for dinner today. Stay for some drinks and dancing at the neighboringbarsandclubs, or burn off your remaining energy in style, at ClubLux.

Day 3:The third day could be one of art and culture. Start at theGulbenkian Museumwhere you can spend half a day admiring its treasures, relaxing in its pleasant gardens, and ending at its Modern Art Center. After lunch, you may want to continue admiring art, this time at theAncient Art Museum. Take a tram backdowntown, where you can decide where to go for dinner (see ourrestaurantrecommendations, although we'd go for one with a view on this last day - perhaps "Chapit" or "Bica do Sapato").To end your Lisbon visit, go back toAlfamafor some late-nightFado, although we'd also strongly recommend taking a taxi to the "Senhor Vinho"Fado House in theLapaquarter.Note: if you follow this 3-day itinerary for a long weekend, and the third day is therefore a Monday, invert the second and third day recommendations above, since the museums are closed on Mondays. You can also easily spend an entire day or more inBelem, depending on your interest in seeing its museums. A visit to theCoaches MuseumandBerardo Museumtakes about one hour each, while theMaritime Museumshould be given about 2 hours andAjuda Palaceabout 90 minutes.Day 4 take the train toSintra, Cascais, Estoril

Day 5 Obidos, Alcobaa,Batalha or if you enjoy palaces and architecture, head toMafrafor its palace, a baroque masterpiece.

2 DAYS

2 DAYSDay 1: With only two days in Lisbon, you obviously don't have time to visit a large number of monuments andmuseums. Concentrate on the main highlights, starting in theBelemdistrict, reached by tram 15. It departs fromdowntown, where you can also take time to admire the city's main squares (RossioandComercio Square) and pedestrian streets (Rua Augusta). Once inBelem, head straight to theJeronimos Monastery, then take the underpass to theDiscoveries Monument, and walk toBelem Tower. Take tram 15 once again, this time in the opposite direction, and once backdowntown, walk up toAlfama. Rest at one of itsmiradourosand end up at thecastle. At the end of the day take a taxi or the train from Cais do Sodre station to Alcantara-Mar'sDocas. Stay for drinks at one of itsbarsorclubs, or if you want to listen toFado, go back toAlfamaand check out one of itsFado Houses, or head toLapa's "Senhor Vinho," considered by many to be the city's bestFadovenue.

Day 2:On the second day take the metro toParque das Nasand visit theOceanarium. Stop to admire the futuristic architecture of the district, and head back to the metro, getting off at the So Sebastio stop for theGulbenkian Museum.End your Lisbon visit with a night out inBairro Alto, first for dinner, then for some drinks as youbar-hop through this old quarter.An alternative to theOceanariumorGulbenkian Museumis a quick, half-day trip toSintra(to visit Pena Palace), about a 40-minute train ride away.

1 DAY

1 DAYLisbon has become increasingly popular as a cruise destination, and many visitors arriving by sea only have one day to explore the city. If that's your case, head straight to theBelemdistrict and go inside theJeronimos Monastery's church and cloisters, and admire theDiscoveries MonumentandBelem Towerfrom the outside.Take tram 15 to Baixa (downtown), walk fromComercio SquarethroughRua AugustatoRossio Squarebefore heading toAlfamaandSt. George's Castlefor the late-afternoon glow over the city. If it is not yet time to return to the ship, walk throughChiadotoBairro Altofor a light meal or dinner, before heading toMiradouro de So Pedro de Alcantaraand bidding farewell to the city from above.

5 days it's the perfect period to know Lisbon and it's surrounding areas.Keep 3 days to visit the main attractions of Lisbon. In the historical district you have to visit the So Jorge Castle, S Cathedral and the typical Bairro deAlfama. Go toRossio(Lisbon main square) and have a walk through the Baixa/Chiadoarea. Also spend some time inBairro Altoarea, specially at night. You also have to experience the #28 tram and go up Elevador Santa Justa. Other part of thr city you can't miss is Belm. Go to Belm Tower and Mosteiro dos Jernimos
