By Day : Riverside Strolls, Culture & Local Delights

 🌊 Tagus River & Urban Life

das Naus
A favorite among locals for sunbathing, picnics, or riverside walks. Watch sailboats pass by as you relax on wooden decks or enjoy a drink in the sun.

🎨 Culture & Local Flavor

Forget Pink Street, the real charm lies in exploring the nearby Chiado district and discovering local gems tucked away in Lisbon’s backstreets.

Rua de São Paulo & Praça de São Paulo
Streets full of character, boutique cafés, and hidden wine bars. Authentic Lisbon, without the clichés.

🍽️ Where to Eat & Drink During the Day

Solar do Kadete

A welcoming restaurant with a spacious terrace, serving classic Portuguese dishes in an elegant yet relaxed setting. Our favorite? The bitoque, a tender steak topped with a fried egg, served with crispy fries and a fresh salad. It’s the perfect comfort meal after a long journey, which is why we always recommend it to our guests looking for a warm and authentic first taste of Lisbon. ⭐️
