Between Alfama, S\u00e9 and Castelo, stroll around with no set map, guided by the narrow streets and viewpoints that seem to emerge by chance. Follow the rails of the 28 tram, always up the hill, taking detours that take your fancy. Saint George Castle is, inevitably, one of those unmissable spots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A stop at the Santa Luzia viewpoint offers some context: the river, the roofs, the sound of the trams passing by. Right there, with a view of that part of the city, it\u2019s a good time for breakfast at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pousadas.pt\/en\/hotel\/pousada-lisboa-alfama#Restaurants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manifesto<\/a>, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pousadas.pt\/en\/hotel\/pousada-lisboa-alfama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pousada Alfama<\/a>. Set in a peaceful spot with a retro vibe, it\u2019s the right place to see the city awake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-morning, it\u2019s worth avoiding the predictable sights, and swing by the Fado Museum &#8211; one way of immersing yourself in the roots of the music and the city and understand the connection between the two. Next up is Baixa: Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio, Rua Augusta and the constant to-ing and fro-ing of the city. Along the way, pop into the MUDE &#8211; Design Museum and add a contemporaneous and unexpected side to your tour. This Museum features exhibitions that change regularly and the refurbished building itself is worth seeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come afternoon, it\u2019s time to discover the Chiado and Pr\u00edncipe Real quarters, with their bookshops, historical caf\u00e9s and hidden gardens. Pr\u00edncipe Real Garden is perfect for a rest between walks, far from the hubbub. With a bit of luck, there\u2019s live music &#8211; bossa nova fans, this is your place. At the end of the day, Bairro Alto begins its transformation &#8211; even if you\u2019re not staying long, feeling that change is part of the Lisbon experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descending to Terreiro do Pa\u00e7o, dinner at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pousadas.pt\/en\/hotel\/pousada-lisboa#Restaurants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rib Beef &amp; Wine<\/a> is the best way to finish your first day. Overlooking the magnificent Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio square, the cuisine of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pousadas.pt\/en\/hotel\/pousada-lisboa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pousada Lisboa<\/a> restaurant focuses on the finest meat, not to mention a fine wine selection and an elegant but relaxed atmosphere. It\u2019s a meal to be savored, with no rush to leave. The<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pestana.com\/en\/hotel?countries=pestana-tags%3Aregions%2Feurope%2Fportugal&amp;cities=pestana-tags%3Aregions%2Feurope%2Fportugal%2Flisbon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">historical 4 and 5-star hotels in Lisbon<\/a><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are found near<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Day 2 &#8211; the river and the contemporary<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a first day spent in the historic centre, the second requires space, light and a more direct connection to the river. Visiting Bel\u00e9m remains a must, but it\u2019s worth going beyond the well-worn routes. The Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery is impressive due to its scale and detail; however, the contrast is found next door, at the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT). Between temporary exhibitions and the chance to climb up to the rooftop to observe the river Tagus from above, this is one of the best places to experience a more contemporary Lisbon. A stone\u2019s throw away, there\u2019s a ritual that continues to make sense: Past\u00e9is de Bel\u00e9m, a custard tart served warm, sprinkled with cinnamon, which deservedly maintains its status as a classic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the afternoon, it\u2019s time for less obvious options. For those who enjoy greenery and broad views, Tapada da Ajuda offers peaceful trails and an almost rural side within the city, ideal to end the day away from the hustle and bustle. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An interesting and nearby alternative is the Ajuda National Palace, one of the most prestigious Portuguese royal residences, that opulently reveals the daily life of the monarchy in the 19th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second day ends unhurriedly, with the distinct feeling that Lisbon reveals itself piece by piece &#8211; amongst hills, museums and restful moments by the water. The walk along the river front, from Bel\u00e9m to Cais do Sodr\u00e9, is long, with various vistas, which help you slow down and connect the two days of the trip. Lisbon gains sense &#8211; and requires a return visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/section>\r\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"block
