Three things you can do any day of the year, without relying on an events programme.

Mercado 2 de Maio

A covered square in the historic centre, next to Rua Formosa. Open to anyone who wants to eat, meet friends or attend fairs and cultural activities.

Getting there

Coffee on a terrace

The Rossio terraces sit outside the town hall; those by the cathedral are at the city's highest point. Two breaks with different views.

Cafés and restaurants

Late afternoon on the Rossio

A walk through the gardens before dinner. From there, head up Rua Direita towards the cathedral square and Praça D. Duarte, the medieval square with places to dine.
