This was me in Portugal 🫶

When I’m not doing readings or helping my clients heal and manifest their dreams, I love exploring new places. Have you ever been to Lisbon, Portugal? I visited in October 2024 and absolutely fell in love with it. The people are so genuine and down-to-earth, the food is incredible, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect getaway—not too crowded with tourists. What about you? What’s your favorite travel destination?

Here are my top 5 recommendations for things to do in Lisbon, Portugal:

1. Ride Tram 28: Take this iconic tram through Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods like Alfama and Graça for a charming and scenic experience.

2. Explore Alfama: Wander through the narrow, winding streets of this old district, soak up the atmosphere, and admire the colorful tiled buildings.

3. Visit Belém: See the Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery, and enjoy a pastel de nata from the famous Pasteis de Belém bakery.

4. Experience a Fado Show: Immerse yourself in Portugal’s soulful music tradition while enjoying a meal in the Alfama district.

5. Take a Day Trip to Sintra: Discover the fairytale-like Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, and the Moorish Castle in this magical nearby town.

Lisbon offers a perfect mix of culture, history, and charm!

Lisbon, the vibrant capital of Portugal, is a city brimming with history, culture, and culinary delights. October is a wonderful time to visit, offering pleasant weather and fewer crowds, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the local atmosphere. Along with the top activities mentioned, consider visiting the stunning Praça do Comércio, where the Tagus River meets the city. Savor traditional dishes such as Bacalhau à Brás (shredded cod with potatoes and eggs) and indulge in the delightful pastel de nata, a custard tart that is a must-try. The bustling Mercado da Ribeira offers a chance to sample a variety of local foods in one place. For art enthusiasts, the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum showcases an impressive collection ranging from ancient artifacts to modern art. If you're looking for scenic viewpoints, head to Miradouro da Senhora do Monte for breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Don't forget to wander the streets of Bairro Alto, famous for its lively nightlife and shops. Lisbon’s rich tapestry of experiences ensures every traveler leaves with unforgettable memories. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or an adventurer, this city has something for everyone.
