The lovely staff at Memmo Príncipe Real will be able to provide you with many great tips tailor-made for your needs.
Enjoy a stroll around the neighbourhood. Take a break at one of the tranquil outdoor cafes in Jardim do Príncipe Real, or visit the nearby Botanical Garden of Lisbon.
A 19th-century palace is now home to Embaixada. This indie shopping mall hosts brands and artists focused on Portuguese design, craftsmanship, fashion, gastronomy and culture.
A Cevicheria by Chef Kiko is a neighbourhood favourite and we adore their pisco sour. Also just around the corner, we like to go for pizza at ZeroZero, with a surprise terrace at the back.
Walk or cycle by the river, appreciate the views and cross by Maat, a museum dedicated to art, architecture and technology.
LX Factory is a creative hub of vintage goods, art, fashion, music and food - including the bookshop Ler Devagar, which has been named one of the 10 most beautiful bookstores in the world.
Museu Berardo, a modern and contemporary art museum, is worth a visit. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation features a renowned and eclectic collection of ancient and modern art.
'A Vida Portuguesa' - a stunning shop selling genuine products of Portuguese design. (you can find the shops in Chiado and Intendente, also a small stall can be found in Mercado da Ribeira).
A visit to Lisbon is never complete without munching some heavenly custard tarts. The tarts from Pastéis de Belém where they were invented in 1837 are delicious. We also love the ones from Manteigaria which you can find in different spots around the city such as in Chiado and Mercado da Ribeira.
Enjoy a drink at a rooftop bar. For a great view check out Topo Chiado (photo above). We also really like Javá Rooftop.
Time Out Market is a foodie hangout that brings together some of the city’s favourite food shops and restaurants (you can also find the traditional market "Mercado da Ribeira" where locals buy the freshest fruits and vegetables).
For traditional food, we very often end up at classic Pinoquio. Well known by locals for its shrimps and pica pau, which many say is the best in town. We also love the oysters and the massada de garoupa which we top with their homemade pirpiri.
For an informal place with a good vibe and great food for sharing, all with a creative twist, we go to Estrela da Bica. Marta, the sweet owner and great chef, is also a well-known DJ. We also love everything about Prado Mercearia, where you can taste delicious dishes paired with organic wines. It's also a grocery store filled with a very good selection of products from local producers.
For a special occasion, our top pick is probably Mini Bar from Portuguese star chef José Avillez. The basil cocktail “Primo Basilico” and the exploding olives are still clearly embedded in our memories. Also on the fancy side, there’s 100 Maneiras - we love the burrantina with crispy Portuguese cabbage and the mushroom risotto with wild prawns. Advance booking is required for both.
For after-dinner fun, head to Cais do Sodré where you’ll find lots of bars and live music venues. If you feel like dancing, Lux is the best nightclub in Lisbon.
