Lisbon, in layers
Lisbon is a city that rewards slow exploration: miradouros at golden hour, tiled façades on quiet lanes, and small rituals (a coffee, a pastry, a ferry ride) that turn into memories. Love Lisbon is built for a first visit — and for return trips that go deeper.
Quick start
- 1. Pick your “musts” and anchor them to neighborhoods.
- 2. Use public transport smartly (metro + walking + one iconic tram ride).
- 3. Reserve one night for fado and one for a sunset miradouro.
- 4. Leave one day open for Sintra or Cascais.
