1-Day Lisbon Adventure Itinerary

Start your day with a visit to the Baixa District (Lower Town), a historic area known for its beautiful squares, grand avenues, and neoclassical buildings. This district is the perfect place to begin your exploration of Lisbon's rich history. After soaking in the atmosphere, head over to the Jewish Quarter, where you can learn about the city's Jewish heritage and visit local synagogues. For breakfast, stop by Nicolau Lisboa, a highly-rated cafe known for its delicious pastries and coffee.

In the afternoon, make your way to Carmo Convent (Carmo Archaeological Museum). This former convent is now an archaeological museum that offers a fascinating glimpse into Lisbon's past. The ruins of the convent are a poignant reminder of the 1755 earthquake that devastated the city. After exploring the museum, take a leisurely stroll to Rossio Square (Praça de Dom Pedro IV), one of Lisbon's most famous squares. Here you can enjoy lunch at Restaurante Solar dos Presuntos, known for its traditional Portuguese cuisine.

As evening approaches, head towards Miradouro da Senhora do Monte (Miradouro de Nossa Senhora do Monte) for breathtaking panoramic views of Lisbon. This viewpoint is especially stunning at sunset. After taking in the views, make your way to Alfama, one of Lisbon's oldest neighborhoods, where you can wander through narrow streets and listen to traditional Fado music. For dinner, dine at Clube de Fado, a restaurant renowned for its authentic Fado performances and delicious Portuguese dishes.
