Two days in Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is Portugal’s capital city and the largest city in the country. Despite being a big city, it still holds a lot of character and has many different areas for you to explore. This is a guide to how to spend two days in Portugal.
How to spend your time
There are 4 main areas to Lisbon: Alfama, Bairro Alto, Baixa, and Belem.
Lisbon is very hilly, so always get a ride to the top and walk down. Unless you are looking to get some good exercise, but you will be doing plenty of walking in this city.
I recommend one day getting up early and doing the tram 28 and then going over to the Belem tower to check out the Belem area. After that, check out the Baixa area.
The other day, I recommend going to the Sao Jorge Castle and Alfama in the morning and spending the afternoon in the Bairro Alto area.

Belem is a good 15 minute taxi ride from the other main sights of Lisbon. You can also get there from taking the trolley that you get at Praca do Comercio, but takes a little longer.
