Feira da Ladra
Lisbon’s flea market is great for a slow rummage through vintage finds and curious objects. Go on Tuesday or Saturday.
Tuesday & Saturday · 09:00–18:00
Markets
Two very different ways to spend a few hours browsing and eating.
Time Out Market
A lively food hall with plenty of local flavours in one place. It is touristy, but still an easy way to try several Lisbon specialities. There are good restaurants in the surrounding streets too.
Food & drink
From seafood and shared plates to pizza, cocktails and dinner by the river.
Rosamar
A beautiful room and delicious food. One of our strongest recommendations for a Lisbon dinner.
Taberna Sal Grosso
Tucked into a little lane, with an inviting menu of dishes to share: vegetables, meat and fish. Lovely for lunch or dinner.
Magnolia Bistrot & Winebar
A little Parisian in spirit, with a welcoming terrace on a charming square.
Ponto Final
Take the ferry from Cais do Sodré to Cacilhas, then walk along the water. Come for fish and an extraordinary view back across Lisbon, especially near sunset. Expect a wait.
Allow time for the ferry and queue
Buga Ramen
Ramen, bao and other Asian comfort food in a playful setting. The robot server makes it especially fun.
Cervejaria Ramiro
A Lisbon institution for seafood and beer. Take a number when you arrive and settle in for the wait.
Bar Foxtrot
An old-school cocktail bar with plenty of character and very good drinks.
A Cevicheria
Small seafood plates to share, with ceviche at the centre of the menu.
A Praça
Relaxed, retro and good for a long lunch or early evening snacks. Expect Portuguese petiscos, pasta, cocktails and a lively room.
Lupita
Casual, lively and an excellent choice when you simply want really good pizza.
JNcQUOI
For a more glamorous evening: striking interiors and several distinct restaurants around Lisbon. Pick the location that suits your mood.
Culture
Art, architecture and places where the setting is part of the experience.
LX Factory
An old industrial site beneath the 25 de Abril Bridge, now filled with cafés, shops, galleries and murals.
Village Underground
An inventive cultural space with bars and events. Check what is on during your visit.
MAC/CCB
Contemporary art at the Belém Cultural Centre, with a varied collection of Portuguese and international work.
MAAT
Art, architecture and technology beside the Tagus. The modern gallery and former power station make a good pairing.
Av. Brasília, 1300-598 Lisboa
Gulbenkian Museum
An exceptional collection in a calm setting. Leave time to wander through the gardens too.
Av. de Berna 45A, 1067-001 Lisboa
Palácio do Grilo
An old palace turned into a living theatre. Dine among performances, then explore the rooms. One of the city’s most unusual evenings.
8 Marvila
Once the Abel Pereira da Fonseca wine warehouses, this vast industrial space is now a creative meeting place. Wander between independent shops, art spaces, cafés and restaurants, or check the calendar for markets and events. Those Who Dance and Outra Cena are here too.
Praça David Leandro da Silva 8, 1950-064 Lisboa
After dark
Rooftops, drag shows and dance floors. Check the programme before setting out: the best night depends on what is on.
Park
On top of a car park, with cocktails, DJs and a view. A fun start to the evening, even if it is popular with visitors.
Finalmente Club
A Lisbon classic with fabulous drag shows, a joyful atmosphere and dancing that goes on late.
