9.00am
Start the day
Breakfast of coffee and pastries at a laid-back caf in Alfama, Lisbons steeply inclined, characterful Mooris district that is topped by the Castelo de So Jorge. Then slowly saunter around the corner to Lisbons cathedral. The S is a handsome, defensive-looking place of worship dating from the 12th century, and forms a contrast to the web of narrow Alfama lanes.
11.00am
Castle views
From here its a picturesque meander through alleys splashed with vibrantly colourful azulejos (tiles), up the steep incline to the Castelo de So Jorge, with sweeping panoramic views over the city and the River Tagus.
1.00pm
Lunch
Time for a lazy lunch of grilled sardines or bacalhau (salted cod). In one of the family-run restaurants in the backstreets of Alfama.
2.30pm
Tram ride
Take a trip on Lisbons most picturesque tram ride, No. 28, and head down to the Baixa district, an appealing grid of old-fashioned streets. Have a wander around the Praa do Comrcio, whose proud colonnades overlook the Tagus, before taking a bus westwards along the waterfront to Belm, Lisbons monumental district.
