In recent years, we have seen that Lisbon has become one of the most popular destinations for Israeli tourists. If in the past Portugal itself was less popular, today the demand is very high. If you are planning to visit Lisbon, we have prepared a list of 5 places you must not miss. Even if you are planning to make real estate investments in Portugal, you will need to get to know the coolest places in every city. Perhaps you will find yourselves at some point moving to live there. So, which places are a must for those who come to visit Lisbon, the capital of Portugal?
1. Bairro Baixa Neighborhood
Lisbon is known for being a very hilly city, making it challenging to get around. To explore the city, you’ll need a lot of stamina to tackle the various challenges. However, the Bairro Baixa neighborhood is a flat area where you can stroll without too much effort. In this neighborhood, you’ll find countless restaurants, shops, and places worth visiting. We promise that you’ll be able to spend long hours here without wanting to leave.
2. Belém Tower
Want to see all of Lisbon from above? All you need to do is head to Belém Tower. The tower was built in the 16th century as the city’s maritime gateway. Over time, it became an excellent viewpoint over the city. When you reach the tower, you can climb to the fifth floor, where you’ll step out onto a terrace with a panoramic view of the entire city. It’s a perfect starting point for your city tour to help you orient yourself. The Belém Tower viewpoint is also fantastic for those looking for an unforgettable photo.
3. Time Out Market
Across the city, you’ll find great restaurants, some even from well-known brands. However, to truly experience Lisbon, you must visit the Time Out Market, which offers a different kind of experience. The market features stalls representing different countries, so you can choose what cuisine you want to try. Some people make it a point to visit the market every day to sample food from another part of the world. We believe the atmosphere in the market, combined with the delicious food, will be unforgettable. Of course, on other days, you can dine at any other restaurant you desire.
4. Bairro Alto District
Wondering what to do at night? Bairro Alto is the place to go if you’re out late. Lisbon isn’t just a fun city by day—it’s particularly exciting at night. In Bairro Alto, you’ll find a wide variety of bars and restaurants open around the clock. There are even guides offering tours of the different bars at night, ensuring an unforgettable experience. If you’re visiting with children, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset views in the district. Bairro Alto also features old buildings that will take your breath away.
5. Cascais Beaches
While Cascais beaches aren’t directly in the city, they’re not far either. If you’re visiting Lisbon during the hot summer months, you can’t miss the stunning beaches nearby. Cascais beaches are perfect for surfers, but also for those who want to sunbathe and enjoy the sea atmosphere. While Israel also has many beaches, these have a unique vibe. These magical beaches will allow you to interact with the locals like nowhere else in the city.
