Things to do in Lisbon
Pop quiz: Where can you ride a yellow tram older than your grandma, eat a pastry with its own cult following and stumble into a medieval alleyway on your way to a Roman ruin? If you said Lisbon, congratulations — your answer is also the prize you’ve been waiting for. This city isn’t here to impress you with flashy skyscrapers or futuristic light shows. It’s more into surprise tile art, sun-warmed staircases and lookout points that double as lunch spots. You’ll find history tucked between espresso bars and seafood so fresh it might still be emotionally attached to the ocean. Come ready to wander. Preferably in shoes you can dance in — fado happens when you least expect it.

When you stop over on your Transatlantic or European cruise, Lisbon’s port drops you directly into living pulse and dynamic culture. The terminal sits close to Alfama, Baixa and Belém—so instead of long rides, you spend a few minutes walking through the kind of place most people never get to experience. Taxis, trams and water views are on tap. First light hits the city and your adventure begins with sidewalk cafés, river breezes and plaza corners that are worth every moment you invest.
