Comfortable shoes with good grip matter more here than in many cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan around viewpoints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisbon\u2019s miradouros (viewpoints) make natural pauses in a walk. Choose one or two per day rather than trying to collect them all, and think about the light: mornings and late afternoons are often the most pleasant times to be outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trams and other transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The historic trams are part of the city\u2019s character and can be busy. Check current routes, fares and ticket options with the city\u2019s official transport operator before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep valuables secure in crowded vehicles and viewpoints.<\/li>\n\n<li>Allow more time than a map suggests for uphill walks.<\/li>\n\n<li>Carry water on warm days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisbon is built on hills.
