Best things to do in Lisbon with only a few days to explore.

1. The Feira da Ladra (Flea market) – Feira da Ladra, Lisbon’s “Thieves’ Market,” is a vibrant flea market held every Tuesday and Saturday, offering a mix of Portuguese antiques, vintage trinkets, and unique collectibles. As you stroll through the historic Alfama district, you’ll find everything from traditional azulejos to rare vinyl records and handcrafted jewelry. This market is not just about shopping; it’s an immersive cultural experience filled with friendly vendors and the delightful sounds of street musicians.

2. D’Orey Azulejos (Antique Tile shop): Discover the charm of D’Orey Azulejos in Lisbon, where traditional Portuguese tiles come to life. This unique shop showcases exquisite hand-painted azulejos, each piece a testament to Portugal’s rich cultural heritage. Don’t miss the chance to take home a piece of history—I still regret not buying something from this enchanting store!

3. Conserveira de Lisboa: Step into Conserveira de Lisboa and discover a world of gourmet tinned fish. This iconic shop offers a delightful array of beautifully packaged tins ranging from an array of seafood and flavours.  Don’t miss the chance to pick up some tins for a special date night back home—I highly recommend grabbing some snacks and enjoying a tin fish style charcuterie board.
