About this pick
Lisbon by Tram is one of our hand-picked Sightseeing finds for Lisbon. Tiled façades and pastel hills.
Why Lisbon? Lisbon tumbles over seven hills above the Tagus, all tiled façades, rattling trams, miradouros and a soulful fado tradition. The city is known for hills and viewpoints, tram 28 and azulejo tiles, fado music and pastéis de nata.
Good to know: Spring and early autumn are mild and sunny; summer is warm with cooling Atlantic breezes. Trams, funiculars and the metro handle the hills; wear grippy shoes for the steep cobbles.
