🗓️Best time to visit
March–June and September–October; summer stays relatively mild under the Atlantic breeze.
📸Top activities & landmarks
- Alfama and Tram 28 (mind the crush)
- Belém: the tower, Jerónimos monastery, the original custard tart
- Praça do Comércio and the Augusta arch
- Senhora do Monte viewpoint at sunset
- Day trip: Sintra's painted palaces
🏨Where to stay
Baixa and Chiado walk best; Avenida da Liberdade for luxury shopping. Remember 'hills' means real daily stair work.
⚠️Tips & warnings
Tram 28 is packed with professional pickpockets — bag in front always. Sintra needs a full day and pre-booked Pena tickets. Halal is moderate (Martim Moniz is its hub) — and the hills tire elders, so plan with the public lifts and tuk-tuks.
