Everyone visits Lisbon for the trams and the viewpoints, but my favorite part of the city is getting lost in its backstreets. On my last scouting trip, I stumbled onto a tiny café tucked behind a bookshop, run by a family who's been serving the same pastel de nata recipe for three generations. No line, no tourists, just the smell of fresh pastries and the sound of locals catching up over coffee. I always try to build a little "wandering time" into my Lisbon itineraries — because sometimes the best travel memories come from the places you didn't plan to find. Curious what hidden gems await on your next trip? Let's plan one together.
