Personally, I think the visit depends on who you get at the counter. Our first time there, we had a…read moregentleman with salt and pepper hair and glasses, who was super quirky and patient explaining the different fish and varieties. There was clearly a love for the different fish and varieties offered. We bought a lot of tins and ended up going back 2 days later after trying a few. This time, however, the 2 people at the counter completely lacked friendliness. They were only interested in getting through their line. One of the guys couldn't even wrap and tie our properly. Complete 180 from the first visit and not as pleasant. Either way, the fish was quite good and the prices are way more reasonable than Comur and other shops. The first patient associate also explained to us fish with skin/bone is cheapest. Also, the intense flavors (pepper, spicy) are the best!

We came back later and the place was thriving with vendors and an awesome DJ! The food was amazing and i had the best churros I've ever tasted!

My husband and I walked around Alfama on two days, and we took a tuk-tuk ride here on one day. We saw a maze of steep narrow cobblestone alleys, houses with terracotta roofs, some small restaurants, courtyards, some shops, a tram, and old buildings such as São Jorge Castle, Lisbon Cathedral, and the National Pantheon of Santa Engracia. We enjoyed eating authentic Portuguese foods. Unfortunately, we missed out on listening to Fado music. I was here during daylight, and unlike some of the other Yelp reviewers, I never got lost, I never felt unsafe, and nobody mistreated me. The buildings were obviously old but were not in bad condition or dirty. I read that the neighborhood has been invested in and spruced up in recent years.

Locals were out cooking on the sidewalks like they paid rent for the cobblestones, music was blasting from speakers that definitely failed an EU noise ordinance, and everyone was very merry. Alfama is Lisbon's oldest quarter, which is code for don't even try to use Google Maps. The streets are aggressively charming, like they dare you not to fall in love. This is a must walk around in if you're in Lisbon.

There's a variety of options and cuisines available, plus beers, wine and cocktails for purchase. I would leave small children at home with a babysitter, as trying to maneuver through the crowds with a stroller is just too much to deal with. We liked the tacos, burgers and pad Thai. Desserts are also available.

I'd been to other Time Out Markets, in the US, and found them places which I had little desire to return to. Not this one, to which I returned at least 3 other times. It wasn't just the easy appeal of an amply-poured glass of great wine at an equally great price, but the whole vibe of the place, featuring the best of Portugal's best. Literally, everything looked appealing here; choosing what to eat to accompany that wine? That was my sole dilemma. One side of this place has eateries that feature really well-priced nightly specials, often selling out, which gives you an idea of their popularity. I frequently found myself in another stretch of the place, opting for a wonderfully fresh sushi platter that ran about $30US. If you do nothing more than come for food and drink you'll likely not notice that there's a really wonderful, artsy shop (A Vida Portuguesa) that features unique and beautiful gifts for yourself or others. Also, a bookstore upstairs and, during the daytime, a huge farmer's market/green-grocery in another space attached to the main hall, but easily overlooked. I highly recommend this Time Out Market, even suggesting you plan your stay to be in close proximity. That's how much I liked it.

One of the more important squares in Lisbon, Praça Dom Pedro IV is also known as Praça do Rossio…read more Surrounded by the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, the Rossio train station, the Rossio metro station, the plaza includes two beautiful fountains and the massive statue of Coluna de D. Pedro IV. It has been the setting of a number of popular revolts, celebrations and today is a meet up spot, COVID test center and many different retail shopping and eateries. It's definitely tourist central. The centerpiece is the 23 meter tall (75 feet) column topped by King Peter IV of Portugal who was also Peter I of Brazil. The mosaic cobblestone is worth a look - it covers the entire central plaza.

We'd already been to Cascais the day before so we just stopped for a bite & went on to the other sites. Luis was great and gave us plenty of time at each stop. When we got back we realized the only thing we would've done differently was stop & see the Freemason site. The cost of entry at each attraction wasn't included, neither was lunch, but it was a great deal for €12.50. When we got to the Pena Palace there was a huge line, which Luis had us skip by collecting our money & returning immediately with our tickets. Highly recommended!!
