　　Portuguese muralist Rigo designed this splash-happy boardwalk. Watch blue-mosaic volcanoes erupt spontaneously or relax on one of the wave-shaped benches. Forget taking a dip, though, as signs warn that bathing is forbidden. Well, there’s always the Rio Tejo…

Must-see attractions

Elevador de Santa Justa

　　If the lanky, wrought-iron Elevador de Santa Justa seems uncannily familiar, it’s probably because the neo-Gothic marvel is the handiwork of Raul Mésnier, Gustave Eiffel’s apprentice. It’s Lisbon’s only vertical street lift, built in 1902 and steam-powered until 1907. Get here early to beat the crowds and zoom to the...

Água Pela Barba

　　The marble tabletops and the walls covered in reclaimed wood give this restaurant a casual, ocean-side atmosphere despite the sea being nowhere near. Fish is the main star on the menu, with both diverse and local dishes such as tacos and pataniscas (fish fritters). Book ahead. ...

Museu do Dinheiro

　　Pop into Banco do Portugal's money museum to see the stunning €34-million interior renovation of the once-mighty São Julião church (closed in 1933); and the more notable Interpretation Centre for King Dinis' Wall, a preserved 30m expanse of the 13th-century medieval city wall, located in the church's former crypt and...

Igreja da Conceição Velha

　　Completed in 1534 on orders from King Manuel I, Igreja da Conceição Velha is the second-oldest Manueline religious building in Lisbon. Its facade remains remarkably preserved; its interiors are considerably less wowing. ...

　　How do we love 100 Maneiras? Let us count the 100 ways… The 10-course tasting menu changes twice yearly and features imaginative, delicately prepared dishes. The courses are all a surprise – part of the charm – though somewhat disappointingly, the chef will only budge so far to accommodate special...

Torre de Belém

　　Jutting out onto the Rio Tejo, this Unesco World Heritage–listed fortress epitomises the Age of Discoveries. You'll need to breathe in to climb the narrow spiral staircase to the tower, which affords sublime views over Belém and the river. 　　Francisco de Arruda designed this giant pearly grey chess piece in...

Miradouro da Graça

　　A much-loved summertime hang-out of lisboêtas, this miradouro (lookout) sidles up to the baroque Igreja da Graça. It has an incredible view of the castle sitting plump on the hillside, the river and the Ponte 25 de Abril. Sunset is prime-time viewing at the kiosk terrace. ...

Cervejaria Ramiro

　　Opened in 1956, Ramiro has legendary status among Lisbon's seafood lovers. Here you can feast on rich plates of giant tiger prawns, percebes (goose barnacles), lobster, crab and clams, and even juicy steak sandwiches. 　　Despite the high prices, the atmosphere is bustling and informal, with garrulous crowds – albeit more...

　　Browse and haggle for buried treasures at this massive flea market. You’ll find old records, coins, baggy pants, dog-eared poetry books and other attic junk. Watch your wallet – it isn’t called ‘thieves market’ for nothing. ...

TOPO Martim Moniz

　　This hipster hang-out is an excellent rooftop lounge with extraordinary views over lively Praça Martim Moniz and the whole of Lisbon. It features loungey open-air wooden benches for cocktails (€8 to €14), coffee and light bites, and a covered indoor lounge. It's all set to a vibey soundtrack, often courtesy...

Igreja & Museu São Roque

　　The plain facade of 16th-century Jesuit Igreja de São Roque belies its dazzling interior of gold, marble and Florentine azulejos – bankrolled by Brazilian riches. Its star attraction is Capela de São João Baptista, a lavish confection of amethyst, alabaster, lapis lazuli and Carrara marble. The museum adjoining the church...
