    What a great stop after our main stop in the bay of Cascais. There's a few steps here to go down but it's worth the view of the ocean and cliffs. Then stop by Ola for an ice cream, you know you want to!

    The Nature never stops to amaze me. A short walk from the center of Cascais, tiny coastal town not far from Lisboa, you will notice many signs pointing out towards the rocky beach with signs Boca do Inferno-The Hell's mouth. There are many paths you can take and explore this phenomenon. For tens of thousands of years waves have been pounding on the rocks of Atlantic Ocean coastline eventually eroding them. That is how this chasm with arch was created that makes waves shoot up high in the air. It's a nice little stop down the coast. Close by there is Santa Maria lighthouse and museum and Faro hotel with great sushi restaurant I warmly recommend.

    One morning, I cycled about 13-14 miles round trip from Cascais to Guincho Beach. Someone at the Cascais visitor's center told me that this was a highlight to stop at along the way, and wow I'm glad I did. It's a stunning circular rock formation through which Atlantic Ocean waves crash relentlessly, with a stunning view west of the trackless sea and north of a beautiful but rugged coastline. Steps have been built to help visitors check out the area, and its really worth looking at the entire place. I came here in February when it was sunny and warm but fairly empty and quiet. There will always be other tourists about, but it was nice to enjoy this stunning place in some relative peace and quiet.

    Absolutely stunning experience. Picture the Atlantic Ocean from high cliffs and endless hiking trails. Lots of tourists unfortunately - no good food options, and you have to pay to use the bathroom. Typical euro experience. However - it was a beautiful experience. You can easily find a spot to appreciate the sunset and just love life without any worries. Check out my photos for an accurate understanding of what to expect. Much love!

    Boca do Inferno is worth stopping by on your way to town. Interesting natural site with some small cafes next to it.

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.

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.
