Lisbon 4 Days

Before we jump right into how to spend 4 fun-filled days in Lisbon let me explain how this itinerary has been designed with you and your experience in mind.

Lisbon on a map

Each of the four days in Lisbon is mapped out so that it makes sense geographically allowing you to make the most of your time in the city. That includes suggested nearby restaurants too.

Completely customizable

Depending on how many days in Lisbon you might have, pick any combination that suits you (Day 1-2, 1-3, or 1-4) which easily adjusts this itinerary for spending 2, 3 or 4 days in Lisbon.

As well, I’ve included some additional activities that may suit your interests better. Feel free to swap out anything you like and replace it with suggested additional visits.

Time of Year

Keep in mind the time of year that you travel will impact how much time you will need at some of the key activities. Visiting Lisbon during its busiest time – May to October – will require additional sightseeing time at most of these stops.

I visited Lisbon in late February into early March and late November into early December and experienced no tourists which allowed me to visit sites freely.

Day 1 of Your Lisbon 4-Day Itinerary: Exploring the Alfama and Baixa Neighbourhoods

Start your day in the picturesque Lisbon neighbourhood of Alfama. A charming maze of winding streets, colourful buildings, and traditional Fado music. With its quaint alleyways and stunning views of the city, Alfama is a must-visit for anyone exploring Lisbon.

Stop #1 Castelo de Sao Jorge (St George Castle)

Start your journey at the top of the hill with Castelo de Sao Jorge, a medieval castle. With its stunning views of the Tagus River and the red rooftops of Alfama, it’s no wonder that St George Castle is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Lisbon.

Although the restaurant is popular due to its stunning panoramic view of the city it caters to tourists and pub food. For a taste of authentic Portuguese cuisine, head to one of the many small restaurants tucked away in the alleys of Alfama.

I recommend – Audrey’s – a restaurant on the ground floor of the chic boutique Hotel Santiago de Alfama.

Stop #3 Se de Lisboa (Lisbon Cathedral)

As you stroll (or ride the tram) through the narrow streets, be sure to stop by the Se Cathedral, a stunning Romanesque church with Gothic influences. Amazingly, this 12th-century church survived the 1755 earthquake which destroyed much of Lisbon.

As you step inside, you’ll be immediately transported back in time to the days of Portugal’s powerful kingdom. The cathedral’s interior is just as impressive as its exterior, with soaring columns, high ceilings, and beautiful stained glass windows.

Spend your evening in the Alfama neighbourhood and take in a Fado performance.

Mesa de Frades is a hidden gem that offers a truly authentic dining experience. As you step into the converted chapel now a restaurant, you are greeted with the warm cozy ambiance of traditional Portuguese décor.

But what really sets Mesa de Frades apart is their nightly Fado performances. The soulful music, paired with the delicious food and cozy atmosphere, makes for a truly unforgettable evening. Address: R. dos Remedios 139 (Alfama neighbourhood)

Day 4 of Your Lisbon 4-Day Itinerary: Day Trip to Sintra

A day trip to Sintra from Lisbon is a must for first-timers! If this is your second or third trip to Lisbon I recommend a day trip to Coimbra, Cascais, Obido or even Evora.

The charming town of Sintra, nestled among lush green hills, is home to one of the most magical places – Pena Palace! Located high atop a hill, the palace is a stunning example of Romanticism architecture, with its colourful turrets and ornate detailing.

Pena Palace

As you approach the palace, you can’t help but feel a sense of awe. The palace seems to rise up out of the surrounding forest, its bright reds and yellows contrasting with the greenery. The closer you get, the more intricate the details become, with each turret and archway telling its own story.

As you enter the palace grounds, you’re greeted by stunning gardens, with exotic plants and trees from all over the world. You could easily spend hours wandering through the gardens alone, but the palace itself beckons.

When to go to Lisbon

The peak tourist season is during the summer months of June to September causing the city to be crowded and prices to be higher.

Spring (March to May) and fall (late September to mid-November) offer more moderate temperatures and fewer crowds, making it a great time to explore the city without feeling overwhelmed.

Winter (December to February) is the quietest season and my favourite time to visit Lisbon. Although it’s not beach weather it sure does beat winters in Canada.

How to get to Lisbon

Lisbon is served by the Humberto Delgado Airport International airport. Travellers can also reach Lisbon by train, with direct connections to major cities such as Madrid, Porto, and Paris. The city’s main bus terminal, Sete Rios, offers national and international bus connections.

For those travelling by car, Lisbon is connected to Spain by the A6 motorway and the Vasco da Gama Bridge, one of the longest bridges in Europe. Once in Lisbon, you can explore the city using the metro, buses, trams, and taxis.

Or, use the very popular Hop-on Hop-Off Bus Tour. Check prices and book your dates.

Accommodations in Lisbon

On both my trips to Lisbon, I stayed at Baixa House – a boutique self-catering apartment in the heart of the Baixa neighbourhood. It’s got everything you need – central location, friendly and helpful staff, daily breakfast and cleaning and all within 13 individually styled 1, 2 or 3-bedroom apartments.

However, if you want to do your own search for an apartment stay or if you prefer a hotel stay.
