The ultimate guide to what to do in the city of seven hills

Over the past five years Lisbon has had something of a makeover – in fact, there are so many things to in Lisbon that it’s becoming difficult to see the city in just a weekend. Its historic cobbled lanes, pretty wooden trams, sparkling river and striking tiled façades are all still there but there’s now a host of intriguing new spaces to visit, too. Chefs from around the world are opening some of the best restaurants in Lisbon, challenging the excellent local restaurants to raise the bar even further. Young Portuguese mixologists and baristas are returning from time spent in London, Paris and New York to launch bars and cafés that blend the best of home and away. And emerging fashion designers, artists, ceramicists and furniture makers are exhibiting and selling their wares in new stores and galleries that celebrate the skills of talented locals.

Of course, in between eating and drinking you’ll want to see Lisbon’s sights – from the Belém Tower to Castelo de S. Jorge – but there’s plenty more to experience in this wonderful, colourful city.
