Lisbon in a Day
.jpg){kind=small}
Start the day with a quick coffee (espresso, of course) sitting in the shade outside A Brasileira in the Chiado, watching people rushing off to work, waving off the sunglass sellers, and soaking up the atmosphere of being in Lisbon.
Next, a very short metro/train trip to Belém, where you can spend an hour or so wandering around the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the most beautiful building in Lisbon. With any luck, mass will be on in the Church of Santa Maria, which is attached to the Monastery. There are a few churches more beautiful than this one when it is filled with music and the swirl of incense smoke in the light streaming through the windows facing the Tejo.
Next, hop on the tram outside Casa Pastéis and trundle back to the city, you can either visit the charming Museu Arqueologico do Carmo or wonder the shops in the Chiado, making your way to the Barrio Alto. Try Casa das Velas do Loreto where there are amazing candles on sale!
After this you you might take a quick taxi ride to the Gulbenkian Museum: there's an amazing collection of medieval books, Asian pottery and also fine Turner's canvases! As for dinner you might try As Barrigas in the Barrio: the food is delicious and you'll experience the typical Portuguese hospitality!
