Lisbon 2-Day Itinerary: The Only Guide You Need!

🚇 Best Transport: Use Bolt (cheaper than expected!). We faced a bus strike 😭, but Bolt saved us—affordable and efficient! Day 1️⃣: Historic Lisbon & Iconic Views 📍 Miradouro da Senhora do Monte Lisbon’s best free viewpoint! Watch the sunrise over red rooftops and the shimmering Tagus River. 📍 Castle of São Jorge 🏰 A 10-min walk uphill to this iconic fortress. Walk the walls for 360° city views and a dose of medieval history. 📍 Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa) ⛪️ The city’s oldest church, blending Romanesque, Gothic & Baroque styles. Free entry (€5 to climb the tower). 🍽️ Lunch at Cervejaria Ramiro A seafood paradise! Must-tries: garlic shrimp + clams (~€20/person). 📍 Santa Justa Lift (€5.30 one-way) A neo-Gothic elevator to a panoramic deck. Best visited at golden hour! 📍 Bica Funicular 🚋 Lisbon’s most photogenic tram (€3.80/ride). For the perfect shot, wait at the base of the hill. Day 2️⃣: Belém & Europe’s Edge 🥧 Breakfast at Pastéis de Belém The OG custard tart since 1837! Pair two tarts + coffee for €5. 📍 Jerónimos Monastery (€10) A UNESCO-listed masterpiece of Manueline architecture. Don’t miss the cloisters’ intricate carvings. 📍 Monument to the Discoveries A tribute to Portugal’s Age of Exploration. Stand where sailors once dreamed of new worlds. 📍 Belém Tower (€6) A 16th-century fortress on the Tagus. Soak in the sea breeze and street musicians’ melodies. 📍 Cabo da Roca 🌊 “Where the land ends and the sea begins.” Europe’s westernmost cliff—bring a jacket for the winds! #LisbonGuide #PortugalTravel #EuropeOnABudget #HiddenGems
