About Lisbon
Lisbon is built on hills and best walked badly — up the wrong street, down the wrong staircase. Alfama and Graça hold the old city; the riverfront and Belém carry the monuments and the day trips out to Sintra.

Eating in Lisbon
Lisbon's best food is simple and cheap: a custard tart still warm from the oven, a shot of cherry liqueur on a square, grilled sardines and a table of shellfish at a loud beer hall.
