Lisbon is built on hills and best walked badly — up the wrong street, down the wrong staircase. Alfama and Graça hold the old city; the riverfront and Belém carry the monuments and the day trips out to Sintra.

Lisbon is hills, light and tiled streets. Plan around the climbs, linger at viewpoints and leave room for fado, pastries and a day in Sintra.

Lisbon's best food is simple and cheap: a custard tart still warm from the oven, a shot of cherry liqueur on a square, grilled sardines and a table of shellfish at a loud beer hall.

Lissabon bedeutet Hügel, Licht und geflieste Straßen. Plane um die Anstiege herum, verweile an Aussichtspunkten und lass Raum für Fado, Gebäck und einen Tag in Sintra.

Lissabons bestes Essen ist einfach und günstig: ein Puddingtörtchen noch warm aus dem Ofen, ein Schluck Kirschlikör auf dem Platz, gegrillte Sardinen und ein Tisch voller Meeresfrüchte in einer lauten Bierhalle.
