Lisbon does not have a really huge city centre and this means that you can cover a lot of ground by just walking. The nightlife reflects that vitality, and nowhere more so than the Bairro Alto neighborhood. Here you'll find cobbled streets packed with a variety of restaurants and bars, as well as people just standing around enjoying life. And don´t forget to explore the public transportation there, the cool historic trams from downtown out to the historic sites at Belem, as well as the incredible Tram #28 to St. George's Castle. The ride itself is an amazing adventure as it weaves its way through the ancient Alfama neighborhood. You'll see some amazing sites just on this tram ride alone, but St. George's Castle is absolutely stunning. It's high walls can be seen looking out over the city below. Most of the castle has been destroyed over the years, but the amazing walls and towers still stand. There's a restaurant and visitor center as well as a museum, but the coolest part is just wandering along the walls and towers. And the views are absolutely stunning!
Lisbon is one of those places that can really be whatever you want it to be. You'll find plenty of good restaurants, fun bars and clubs filled with locals as well as visitors from all over, great shopping, lots of amazing history... and you're in Portugal! It's sunny and warm with beaches!
