A different look at Lisbon: Mirador de Monsanto

Anyone visiting Lisbon will enjoy the view from the Santa Justa elevator or from one of the most beautiful places, the Santa Catarina viewpoint. What you need to visit Lisbon. but there are many more places where we can appreciate the city and these are Less touristy and usual. Our favorite is located in the Monsanto Forest Park. The most original and different, guaranteed.

It is in a green area with ruins, tracks where you can do different sports and walking tracks where you can enjoy these green lungs. And a tip you’ll love: It was an abandoned restaurant, perfect for taking pictures for Instagram.

Ajuda National Palace

Maybe you didn’t notice one of the most beautiful palaces in Lisbon, as well as one of the least visited, on your quick escape to the Portuguese capital. Palácio Nacional da Ajuda is the headquarters of the Biblioteca Nacional da Ajuda and the Ministry of Culture.and far from the city.

The 1755 earthquake succeeded in destroying the Ribeira Palace, where the royal house was located, until Queen Maria I ordered the construction of the Ajuda National Palace. This new palace was to be the residence of the Portuguese royal family until the early 19th century and holds most of that time. So much so that today it has one of the best collections of decorative art in Portugal, with many sculptures, paintings, porcelain and tapestries.

A tip: take advantage of the visit to give A walk in the Ajuda Botanical Gardena beautiful Italian architecture garden worth getting lost in.

A snack at As Bifanas do Afonso

I’m not kidding if I say the local is the best place to try. One of Portugal’s most delicious typical dishes: bifanaA pork sandwich in which all its success lies in its simplicity.

The place is called “As Bifanas do Afonso” and is located on the corner of Largo Adelino Amaro da Costa and Rua da Madalena (Here we leave you how to get there), the famous Alfama quarter – a must stop – and very close to Lisbon Cathedral. It’s a very small place where they only sell bifana and is the best representation of street food in town. Safety pin.

Visit the world’s oldest bookstore

Everyone is talking about the Lello bookstore in Porto, but I haven’t met anyone who recommends it yet. The oldest active bookstore in the world. founded in 1732and it was the work of the French Pedro Faure. Pierre Bertrand joined in 1742 as a partner and the bookstore was renamed Faure & Bertrand, until after Faure’s death the name we now know: Bertrand.

Eat the best pastel de nata in Lisbon (and they’re not the oldest patisserie in town)

Forget pastel de Belem, the oldest patisserie in the city because it’s the most touristy and best known, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best. We found a place with celebrities as well as always having a queue. portuguese cream cake they are even better. named It is a cream cake factory located in Manteigaria and Porto and Lisbon.. Their cakes are a blessed madness.

I warn you that it is one of those bites that can induce orgasm, so stopping for a coffee and pastel de nata at one of its four locations in Lisbon is a must:

• Rua do Loreto 2, five minutes from the Do Carmo Archaeological Museum
• Rua Augusta 195-197, between Lisbon Cathedral and Do Carmo Archaeological Museum
• Avenida Rio de Janeiro 44 B, just outside the historic center of Lisbon
• Rua de Belem 31, near Torre de Belem
