Day 2. Alfama and São Jorge Castle
Morning. Take tram 28 from Martim Moniz at 8:30, before the queues, to the stop below the castle. Walk the castle walls (allow 1.5 hours, ticket about €15 each).
Late morning. Walk downhill through Alfama's lanes to the Santa Luzia viewpoint for the classic view of red roofs and the river. 10 minutes on foot.
Lunch. A small family-run tasca on the lanes below the viewpoint: grilled sardines or the dish of the day, about €15–18 per person with wine.
Afternoon. National Tile Museum, 15 minutes by bus 759 from the river. Quiet, uncrowded and good if it rains.
Evening. A fado house in Alfama. Book a 20:30 dinner-and-show seating a few days ahead; budget €45–60 per person.
Day 5. Sintra day trip
- 8:40 train from Rossio station, 40 minutes, about €2.50 each way.
- 9:30 bus 434 up the hill to Pena Palace. Book a timed ticket online for 10:00 to skip the line.
- 12:30 walk down through the forest park to the Moorish Castle (30 minutes, some steep steps, wear trainers).
- 14:00 late lunch in the old town; try the local almond-and-cheese pastries.
- 16:00 Quinta da Regaleira gardens and the initiation well.
- 18:30 train back to Lisbon.
Where to stay
- Chiado — central, flat-ish streets, easy for every day of this plan. Best overall fit.
- Alfama — atmospheric and quieter at night, but steep hills with luggage.

About this service
We plan a self-guided food tour of a city: neighborhoods walked in an order that makes sense, the dishes the place is known for, and markets, bakeries and street stalls paced so you are hungry again by the next stop. Each stop says what to order, and the day is split into small tastes rather than three heavy meals.
What is included
- What you getA food tour plan as formatted text: walking routes by area, food stops with what to order, a market morning, local dishes to try and a rough food budget. Opening days and prices of small places change often, so check them before you go; we do not book tables or tours.
- Signature dishesWhat the city is known for and where
- Stops in walking orderGrouped by area, no zigzags
- What to orderOne or two dishes per stop
- Markets and bakeriesBest mornings and what to taste
- Dietary notesSwaps for vegetarians and allergies

We will ask you:
- Which city, and how many days?

- Any diets, allergies or foods you avoid?
- What is your food budget per day?

Questions and answers
Do you include fine dining?
Only if you ask. By default we focus on markets, street food and local favorites, with one special meal if the budget allows.
Can you plan a food tour for a vegan?
Yes. We pick places with real vegan options, not just side salads, and note dishes that can be made without animal products.
Are the places tourist traps?
We favor places locals use and flag well-known spots where queues and prices are high. Check recent reviews before you go.
