Justine's Travel Tips for Lisbon

What are the best places to eat and drink in Lisbon?

Many multiple favourite restaurants, bars, and cafes in Lisbon! It is definitely challenging to choose just one. For restaurants - Damas had a hipster vibe with the menu written on the wall; Cosmo for open fire cuisine, great gilled octopus and meats with cool, dark interiors; Adega Dom Luis for the ultimate Portuguese cuisine and experience - can't recommend this gem enough. Bars - Vino Vero was a favourite (stayed at the airbnb right above it) with natural wines and a friendly patio service; Locals & Nomads for natural wine and a bottle shop. For cafes - we loved the most local cafes or Padelarias around!

What are the best things to do in Lisbon?

The area of Graça is most special - the viewpoints Miradouro da Graça and Miradoura da Nossa Senhora do Monte were so special. A lot of hills required to get to these places, especially going north but absolutely worth it! Vila Berta is a beautiful area to get lost in the streetart and florals and tiles.

What is the best tip for a romantic getaway in Lisbon?

Go with the flow! Embrace the Portugeuse way of slowing down and smelling the roses - take your time to relax and be present in the moment. Definitely book photoshoots to remember the beautiful corners in Lisbon!

Seagan in Tsukiji market, well worth the wait (try to get there 30min before) and lived up to the hype. Buttery and fresh maguro bowl for a reasonable price.
