Lisbon is hilly, so this plan balances walking with public transport and focuses on the absolute highlights.
Morning: Historic Center & Alfama (09:00–13:00)

    09:00 – Praça do Comércio
    Start at this grand riverside square. Walk through the Arco da Rua Augusta into the Baixa district.
    09:30 – Alfama & Viewpoints
    Head up into the maze of Alfama (Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood).
    Visit:
        Miradouro de Santa Luzia or Portas do Sol (great views)
        Sé Cathedral
        São Jorge Castle (optional – book ahead if you want to go inside; the views from the walls are excellent)
    Optional: Short ride on the iconic Tram 28 through Alfama/Graça (best early to avoid huge queues).

Midday: Lunch

    13:00 – Time Out Market (Mercado da Ribeira)
    Excellent food hall with many top local chefs. Easy, quick, and high quality.

Afternoon: Belém (14:00–17:30)

Take Tram 15E, bus, or Uber/Bolt to Belém (≈20–25 minutes).

    Jerónimos Monastery (beautiful Manueline architecture – book timed ticket)
    Belém Tower (iconic riverside fortress – exterior is often enough)
    Monument to the Discoveries
    Pastéis de Belém – Eat the original pastel de nata here (worth the queue)

Late Afternoon / Evening

    Return to the center.
    Walk through Chiado and Bairro Alto.
    Optional: Ride the Santa Justa Elevator or Bica Funicular for classic views and photos.
    Sunset drink at a miradouro (viewpoint) such as São Pedro de Alcântara.
    Dinner in Bairro Alto or Chiado (tapas, seafood, or traditional Portuguese).

Practical Tips

    Tickets to book in advance: Jerónimos Monastery and São Jorge Castle (if visiting inside).
    Transport: Get a 24-hour public transport ticket or use contactless payment. Uber/Bolt is cheap and useful for hills.
    Walking: Expect 8–12 km + hills. Wear comfortable shoes with good grip.
    Pace options:
        Prefer fewer hills → Focus more on Baixa + Belém and skip the full castle climb.
        Love neighborhoods → Spend more time wandering Alfama and less time in Belém.
