Commerce Square
Bring a portable charger! I didn't, and my phone died while snapping pics. The place is so photogenic; you'll definitely want your camera ready.
The Sanctuary of Fatima
I suggest bringing your own water and snacks from outside. The prices inside can be pretty high, and there are some nice places to sit and enjoy a picnic.
If you can, visit during the week instead of the weekend. The crowds can be insane on Saturdays, and you'll find it much easier to explore on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
I think taking the time to sit in the chapel and soak in the atmosphere is a must. I almost skipped it but ended up feeling really moved by the experience.
Pena Palace
Torri di Belen
My advice is to check the opening times before you go. Sometimes they change seasonally, and you don’t wanna miss out on visiting the tower itself!
Don’t forget your camera! The views from the top of the tower are stunning – perfect for those Instagram shots. I regret not taking enough photos!
Mosteiro dos Jeronimos
Quinta da Regaleira
I suggest buying your ticket online before you go. It saved me some time and I could skip that long queue. Plus, there are often discounts for online purchases!
Palacio Nacional de Sintra
Mosteiro de Santa Maria da Vitoria
Lisbon Cathedral
Grab a coffee at one of the nearby cafes before your visit... There's nothing like enjoying a cuppa while soaking in that Lisbon vibe!
If you want to beat the crowds, I suggest going right when it opens at 9 AM. You can take some great photos without people in the way!
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes; there are a lot of cobblestone steps leading up to the cathedral. I definitely underestimated that and ended up with sore feet!
