Free Time in Lisbon
Lisbon, Portugal
About This Activity
Lisbon rewards unhurried exploration. Use free time to browse LX Factory's Sunday market, wander the tile-covered streets of Mouraria, seek out a local tasca for lunch, or simply watch the Tagus from a hilltop miradouro. The city's compact neighborhoods make spontaneous discovery easy.
Seasonal note: Year-round; LX Factory market runs Sundays, Feira da Ladra flea market runs Tuesdays and Saturdays
