Overview
Built on seven hills, Lisbon offers endless chances to explore—ride a vintage yellow tram through winding streets, admire tile-covered buildings, and take in panoramic views from scenic overlooks like Miradouro da Senhora do Monte. The city’s mix of Gothic, Moorish, and Baroque architecture adds layers of history to every stroll.
Neighborhoods like Alfama and Bairro Alto pulse with life, offering everything from soulful fado music to trendy cafés and lively bars. Whether you are browsing markets, exploring castles, or sipping a glass of Vinho Verde by the river, Lisbon invites you to linger and take it all in.
The city also makes a great jumping-off point for nearby adventures—like the fairytale palaces of Sintra or the beaches of Cascais. With its laid-back vibe, welcoming locals, and endless charm, Lisbon is an unforgettable gateway to Portugal.
Start your day by heading to the Belem district, one of the most iconic areas of Lisbon.

It’s a great place to experience Lisbon’s contemporary culture and get a unique souvenir.
Tip: Take some time to explore the vibrant street art, or grab a coffee at one of the stylish cafés.

Enjoy a Traditional Portuguese Meal
Before you head back to your cruise, treat yourself to a traditional Portuguese meal. Head to a local restaurant and try bacalhau (salted cod), caldo verde (green soup), or bifana (a pork sandwich). Pair your meal with a glass of Ginja, a cherry liqueur, or a glass of Portuguese wine.
Tip: Lisbon’s Time Out Market is a great option for a variety of food stalls if you are short on time but still want to sample a range of Portuguese flavors.
