if I want to understand Portuguese cuisine better, which dish should I try?

The serious question is, if I want to understand Portuguese cuisine better, which dish should I try?

Please suggest a cafe or restaurant, the best, in your opinion, is by no means a tourist destination or dish.

Lisbon - what to do alone

I’m going on a girls’ trip for a week, and we’ll be spending some time together. But I’m leaving later than everyone else. My flight isn’t until 10:55 PM, while the others are flying out around 1 or 3 PM.
So I’m thinking about planning something for my last day instead of just wasting time waiting for my flight.
I found a day tour to Fátima, Batalha, and Nazaré that takes about 9 hours. Do you think it’s worth it?

Best way to meet people when I don’t drink?

Hiya

I’m a 33F solo travelling and I’ll be in Lisbon for a week, I’d like to meet some cool peeps but I don’t drink so I’m wondering what the best way would be? Any apps or websites you recommend?

I’m an earthy woman who loves being in my body through all different types of movement/dancing/non linear exploration, delicious food (gluten free recommendations welcome also!), people that are deep yet light and fun, and just going with the flow of life and seeing where it takes me, which is what I’m doing at the moment :) travelling without a plan, open to it all

Thanks 🙏🏽

Getting around Lisbon: crutches or wheelchair?

Hello helpful Redditors, I’m relying on you for this one 🥺 I’m flying to Lisbon soon but fractured my foot recently. Given the hills and slippery cobble paths, does renting a wheelchair make getting around any easier than using crutches (as I’m doing now)? And if so @ any travellers who have experience renting a wheelchair in Lisbon - how was the experience?

Would also appreciate comments on which neighbourhoods are more accessible and which to avoid!

Thank you

chilled out places in Lisbon to relax before we can check into our bnb??

me and my partner are travelling to lisbon for a holiday. we have to be up at 1am for our flight, we get into lisbon around 9am and can't check in until 3pm at our air bnb. we are going to be absolutely knackered when we arrive and wondering if anyone had any suggestions for very chilled out places to go where we can relax and chill until we can go back for a nap at the bnb before the evening. our air bnb is near the museu do fado as a reference point. we want to be within walking distance of there. thanks so much in advance!

Portuguese stare?

Oi! I’ve seen some TikToks talking about how Portuguese people like to stare and I saw some Reddit posts talking about staring and that theres creepy men that will stare at you and walk behind you just to look at your butt if you’re a woman. I’m not sure how normalize this stuff is there, but I hope it wasn’t true because I would love to go to Portugal one day because I’m part Portuguese.

People in America look and people watch a lot, is that what they mean by “staring” in Portugal? People in the TikToks act like it’s more full on staring for more than a few seconds.

Anyone willing to help with a birthday surprise? ❤️

I'm making a birthday gift for my boyfriend and trying to collect photos from different places around the world.

Would anyone around lisbon be willing to take a photo holding a short handwritten birthday message somewhere cool in the city?

I'll provide the exact wording. It would take literally a minute or two. ❤️

I'd be incredibly grateful!

Under 24 hours in Lisbon

Hello!

I’m looking to maximize the very short amount of time I will have in Lisbon

Background info:

I’m traveling to Lisbon for work in a few weeks, I don’t yet know my exact travel time but I’m expecting to get there in the afternoon, and leave the next morning.

It’s my very first time traveling to Portugal, looking to maximize my time and money!

I’d love to be able to see Sintra and Cascais but I don’t think I’ll have the time.

Probably going to try and do a walking tour or tuktuk tour?

Would love recommendations for activities and food, as well as general tips!
