It was cool to see how the tradition has evolved over the years. Many signs are in both Portuguese and English. All the staff we spoke with were also very fluent in English. This was also the first place I saw a people love us on Yelp sign (in Portuguese) which was super cool. The café serves coffee, beer and wine as well as sandwiches and pasties in a beautiful setting. Part of the café is indoors and part is in a garden courtyard. Beautiful sculptures and flowers. We got here on the bus but you could also Uber. Bus stop is very close but it's a bit out of the way from the main touristic areas. I would budget about two to three hours here depending on how interested you are in the tiles. Definitely have a drink and a snack and enjoy the courtyard garden area. Shop was well stocked, reasonably priced and featured some work by local artisans.

Everyone and their mother told me to come to the tile museum on my recent trip to Lisbon. Honestly,…read moreit was cool to see, but I didn't spend anywhere near the 1-1.5 hours people recommend spending here. It was a 30 minute max type of museum unless you're going to stop and read every single thing about every single tile in this place...which I guess people must do. One thing that was incredibly cool is the panoramic view of what Lisbon used to look like before the big earthquake they had. It's interesting to see what monuments survived, which ones didn't and what stands there today. Overall, if you have extra time during your trip this isn't a bad way to spend it - I just wouldn't plan on being here for hours and hours (unless you really, really want to).

We can't thank them enough for their kindness and customer service. I would highly recommend to anyone for a great experience and great work!

We enjoyed this part of Lisbon very much (together with Baixa, hard to see where one ends and the…read moreother one starts anyways). There are several streets which are enjoyable. Countless restaurants, bakeries, chains and independent stores. Besides Rua Augusta and its side streets the Rua Garrett is surely worth checking out. Like mentioned in another reviews, the restaurants on Rua Augusta are good for drinks and people-watching, but I would avoid eating here. Menu, quality and value are just not good enough.... but there is lots of good food in this city. Rossio and the Praca Do Comercio are surely other must-dos. But make sure to walk along the smaller streets in the west of Chiado too (close to Bairro Alto), lots of charm here! Some of the parallell streets to Rua Augusta get pretty quiet at night. Nothing scary, but not much to see or do though. From some angles you also can get nice views of the Castelo, especially at night a colorful sight!

Santa Justa Elevator is Lisbon's wildly unnecessary yet somehow charming vertical solution to the city's geography problem. This iron beauty connects the Baixa district to the Bairro Alto, which is code for flat ground to very not flat ground. Lisbon, famously built on seven hills, decided stairs were too obvious. So they commissioned Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, a student of Eiffel, to drop a mini Eiffel Tower in the middle of the city and call it an elevator. Classy.

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.

There's a small museum on the garden grounds which features information about the castle's former residents and very cool artifacts like pottery and even bones. I learned a lot about the castle and Lisbon itself including its roots in Islam which I found very interesting. The castle itself is merely ruins at this point but you can still climb up to many of the towers for even better viewpoints of the city below. The peacocks on the grounds were amazing too and we got to see baby peacocks! There's snacks and a gift shop too but we didn't stick around for more than the sightseeing. It was about 15 euros per person for entry, as far as I can remember. I'd recommend visiting this spot!
