Tram 28 is one of the most famous tourist attractions and the best way to explore the old city of Lisbon’s historic heritage and typical neighbourhoods. Although a tourist attraction, tram 28 is also still a part of public transportation used by locals. This means that you can expect long queues for the ride and, most likely, to stand during the entire ride. Route of the tram begins from Martim Moniz and ends at Campo de Orique, but if you want to enjoy just a part of the ride, or avoid crowded rides, you can choose less crowded stops to get on board, or take a ride early in the morning. #tram

A short drink for those who visit Lisbon for just a short time. Ginjinha is what locals call the Morello cherry liqueur. Morello is a sour cherry from which Portuguese have been making liqueur since the 17th-century. It is considered to be Lisbon’s official drink. As one of Lisbon’s most typical liqueurs, it is no wonder that you come across dozens of bars selling it. But some of them have been providing locals with their daily dosage of Ginjinha for more than a century and, for Ginjinha lovers, they are a holy destination. #travel #drink #portugal #lisbon #ginjinha

The Alfama is the oldest neighborhood of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the São Jorge Castle and the Tagus river.Its name comes from the Arabic Al-hamma, meaning “hot fountains” or “baths”.Alfama is full of many important historical attractions, as well as an abundance of Fado bars and restaurants.Luckily, the great 1755 Lisbon earthquake did not destroy the Alfama, which has remained a picturesque labyrinth of narrow streets and small square. Lately the neighborhood has been revived with the renovation of the old houses and new restaurants where Fado—Portugues typical melancholy music

A Lisbon classic! It is a small cream cake, with a base of crisp phyllo dough. If freshly made and hot, which they usually are, they are an ultimate treat and one of the most authentic tastes of Lisbon. It is usually served with a little powdered sugar and cinnamon on top. The original ones are served at a bakery located in Belém, in the address indicated below. But if you don’t have the opportunity to go there, no worries, because almost all bakeries in the city also sell them. #custart #tart #pasteldebelem #lisbon #portugal

To visit Lisbon and not hear Fado is as if you have never been to Lisbon in the first place. Fado is a music genre that can be traced to the 1820s in Lisbon, Portugal, but probably has much earlier origins.  Although the origins are difficult to trace, today’s fado is commonly regarded as simply a form of song which can be about anything. It must follow a certain traditional structure. In popular belief, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. #travel #lisbon #portugal #music #fado
