Local Tips

: Pastéis de Belém are a must. Don’t fear the line – locals go inside for a table. Enjoy one or two and order extra to take away.
: Dinner in Portugal starts at about 7:30 pm, but many kitchens open later. Locals usually dine after 8:30 pm.
: Lisbon is known for its seven hills, so expect to walk up and down – a lot.
: Fado, a Portuguese traditional musical genre linked to saudade, is traditionally accompanied by a mellow mandolin or a Portuguese guitar.
