    Lisbon is one of Europe's most romantic capitals — sun-bleached Moorish architecture, melancholic fado music floating from tavern windows and custard tarts that are genuinely life-changing. Viator has 800+ Lisbon experiences including day trips to the fairy-tale palaces of Sintra.

    Top 10 Things to Do in Lisbon

    • Sintra — UNESCO palaces and gardens 40 minutes from Lisbon, book a day trip in advance
    • Belém Tower — the iconic 16th-century fortress on the Tagus
    • Jerónimos Monastery — Manueline Gothic masterpiece, UNESCO World Heritage Site
    • Alfama — Lisbon's ancient Moorish quarter, best for fado music in the evenings
    • Pastéis de Belém — the original custard tart, queue is always worth it
    • Tram 28 — the iconic yellow tram through Alfama, Graça and Estrela
    • LX Factory — Sunday market in a converted industrial space, brilliant for food and crafts
    • Miradouro de Santa Catarina — the best sunset viewpoint in Lisbon
    • Time Out Market — 35 of Lisbon's best chefs under one roof
    • Cape Sagres & Alentejo Coast — the end of the world, one of Europe's most dramatic headlands
    💡 Pro Tip: Pena Palace in Sintra has timed entry only — tickets sell out weeks ahead in summer. Book a Viator day trip that includes entry, transport and a guide. Trying to do Sintra independently in peak season without pre-booked tickets is frustrating.
