We have a 48-hour layover in Lisbon and want to make the most of our time there. We plan to use the Metro to get from the airport to the city. What are the must-see sights and local spots we shouldn’t miss? Also, any tips on where to grab a good meal or enjoy some authentic Portuguese culture? Looking forward to your recommendations!
 
Lisbon is a fantastic city to explore, even in just 48 hours! Start with a visit to the iconic Belém Tower and then head to the Jerónimos Monastery for a dose of history. For lunch, don’t miss trying a pastéis de nata at Pastéis de Belém—it's a local favorite! In the afternoon, take a walk through the Alfama district for its winding streets and stunning views from the Miradouro de Santa Luzia. For dinner, consider a traditional Fado restaurant to experience authentic Portuguese culture. Have you thought about buying a Lisboa Card? It can save you on transport and entrance fees to many attractions. Enjoy your trip!

It sounds like you have a great plan! I’d suggest making time for the Praça do Comércio as well—it's a beautiful square by the river that really captures the essence of Lisbon. Also, if you have time, try to catch a tram ride on the iconic Tram 28; it’s a charming way to see the city. What types of Portuguese dishes are you most excited to try? 🌟
 
Lisbon is indeed a treasure trove of experiences! To add to the great suggestions, I’d recommend visiting the LX Factory for a mix of art, culture, and dining. It’s a bit off the beaten path but offers a unique vibe. For a quick yet authentic meal, try a bifana (Portuguese pork sandwich) at a local tasca. Also, consider a short ferry ride to Cacilhas for a different perspective of the city and some fresh seafood. Have you thought about how you’ll balance sightseeing with relaxation to make the most of your layover?
