As well as benefitting from three days of the world\u2019s largest and most important airspace event, Airspace World 2025 attendees will also have the chance to sample the delights of one of Europe\u2019s most beautiful and charming cities, Lisbon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Portugal\u2019s capital city since 1255, Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the most western city in continental Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city offers an exciting blend of historic sights, a vibrant restaurant and nightlife scene, fantastic views, and more modern attractions. If you\u2019re staying for the weekend after Airspace World here are the top 10 things to see and do in Lisbon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Explore the Alfama District<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oldest neighborhood in Lisbon, Alfama is a maze of narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and traditional Fado music echoing from tavern windows. It\u2019s perfect for aimless wandering, and you\u2019ll stumble upon historic gems like the S\u00e9 Cathedral and Miradouro de Santa Luzia, a stunning viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Ride Tram 28<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iconic yellow Tram 28 takes you on a scenic journey through some of Lisbon\u2019s most charming areas, including Gra\u00e7a, Alfama, Baixa, and Estrela. It\u2019s a nostalgic, bumpy ride through history \u2014 and a must-do even for locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Visit the Bel\u00e9m Tower<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bel\u00e9m Tower is a symbol of Portugal\u2019s Age of Discoveries. Sitting by the Tagus River, it\u2019s both a beautiful example of Manueline architecture and a gateway to Portugal\u2019s seafaring past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Indulge in Past\u00e9is de Bel\u00e9m<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No trip to Lisbon is complete without tasting the city\u2019s famous custard tarts. Head to Past\u00e9is de Bel\u00e9m, the bakery that\u2019s been serving the original recipe since 1837.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Climb to S\u00e3o Jorge Castle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perched atop a hill, Castelo de S\u00e3o Jorge offers sweeping views of Lisbon\u2019s terracotta rooftops and the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Take in the Views at Miradouros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisbon is a city of miradouros (viewpoints), and each offers a unique perspective. Favorites include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miradouro da Senhora do Monte (most panoramic),<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miradouro de S\u00e3o Pedro de Alc\u00e2ntara (great at sunset), and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miradouro das Portas do Sol (perfect for photos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Discover LX Factory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former industrial complex turned creative hub, LX Factory is filled with trendy caf\u00e9s, restaurants, bookstores, and boutiques. Street art covers the walls, and there\u2019s always something happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Visit the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A masterpiece of Manueline architecture, Mosteiro dos Jer\u00f3nimos is awe-inspiring in scale and detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Take a Day Trip to Sintra<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though technically outside Lisbon, Sintra is a dreamy escape just 40 minutes away. With fairytale palaces like Pena Palace, lush gardens, and misty mountains, it feels like stepping into a storybook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Experience the Nightlife in Bairro Alto<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dark, Bairro Alto transforms into Lisbon\u2019s buzzing nightlife hub. Small bars spill out onto the streets, DJs play everything from Fado to house music, and the atmosphere is electric until the early hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus Tip: Try the Local Flavors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t leave without trying bacalhau \u00e0 br\u00e1s, sardinhas assadas, or sipping on some Ginjinha \u2014 Lisbon\u2019s cherry liqueur served in tiny shots, often with a cherry at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
