A weekend in Lisbon
Castle, trams, Belém and custard tarts, plus Sintra if you can spare a day. Prompt to make your own: "Plan a weekend in Lisbon for a first visit, link the official sites, note what to book ahead, and save it to onelink."
Castelo de São Jorge Saturday morning. The view over the whole city. Go at opening. https://castelodesaojorge.pt/en/
Tram 28 Ride it early or late; at midday it's packed. Watch your pockets. https://www.carris.pt/en/
Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower Saturday afternoon in Belém. Queues get long, so go early. https://mosteirojeronimos.torrebelem.gov.pt/en
Pastéis de Belém Next to the monastery. The takeaway line moves faster than it looks. https://pasteisdebelem.pt/en/
MAAT Walk along the river from Belém. The roof is free to climb. https://www.maat.pt/en
LX Factory Sunday brunch and small shops in an old factory. https://lxfactory.com/
Time Out Market Dinner when nobody can decide. https://www.timeout.com/time-out-market-lisboa
Gulbenkian Museum A rainy-day museum with a garden worth the visit on its own. https://gulbenkian.pt/en/
Oceanário One of Europe's biggest aquariums. Great with kids. https://oceanario.pt/en/
Sintra Swap Sunday for this if you can: 40 minutes by train from Rossio. Book Pena Palace ahead. https://www.parquesdesintra.pt/en/
