Your first dinner should be at one of Lisbon’s hobbit-sized, hole-in-the-wall joints like Cervejaria Ramiro (351 21 885 1024; cervejariaramiro.pt). The bill rarely stretches beyond £15 per-head.
The city’s nightly cycle of revelry always kicks off in Bairro Alto. It doesn’t matter which bar you choose as the real party is outside. Grab a plastic cup of caipirinha at Majong and dance outside.
Grab a breakfast of coffee and custard tarts at Pasteis de Belém (pasteisdebelem.pt).
Unassuming rustic grub is served in under hanging copper pots and dangling legs of ham at Solar dos Nunes (00 351 21 364 7359, around £20 a head).
At the northern bank of the Tagus River lies the Discoveries Monument, which celebrates the Age of Exploration of the 15th and 16th centuries. Home to the historical statue of Henry the Navigator.
The beautiful Saint George Castle is where you'll get a glimpse of Lisbon's history as well as get amazing views of the city and the Tagus River. Pay close attention to the amazing Ogival House.
