DRUMWIT TIPS

Transport:
Tram 28 is especially famous for passing through some of the city’s most touristy spots, offering a picturesque way to explore Lisbon.
Food:
Don’t forget to try typical dishes like grilled cod, sardines, bacalhau à brás, and of course, pastéis de nata, a delicious local treat.
Fado:
Lisbon is the perfect place to enjoy fado, traditional Portuguese music filled with emotion and melancholy. Fado is very popular, especially at night, so it's recommended to make reservations in advance, particularly at the more well-known places. Our top recommendations would be Tasca do Chico in Bairro Alto and Tasca do Jaime in Alfama.
Santa Justa Lift:
Since there are often long lines, we recommend reaching the viewpoint by walking up Rua do Carmo, which will take you directly to the observation platform, without needing to take the famous lift.
