Lisbon Solo Trip Speedrun
1.5 days trip to Lisbon. I arrived around noon (after passing immigration) and stayed at Ramada Lisbon which is right by a Metro station. That said, Uber is really cheap in Lisbon anyway if you decide to opt for that instead.

📍 Lisbon, PT
Day 1
Belém Tower
Nice tower but the line to enter it was quite long (sign says 2 hrs+?). While the tickets can be bought online, you still have to lineup to enter with your ticket.
Museu do Combatente
Pretty cool little museum about war and stuff. Surprisingly a lot of stuff about vehicles (motorcycle, jeeps, helicopter etc.).
Jerónimos Monastery
Only took photo from the outside. Was too tired so I didn't end up lining up to go in
Empire Square Garden
Nice little garden to hang around for a bit.
Monument to the Discoveries
An interesting monument
Day 2
Santa Justa Lift
The viewing on the lift was closed when I visited so I didn't actually take the lift 🤷
Praça do Comércio
I visited quite early (like 8am early) so there's like no one here. It's nice. Arco da Rua Augusta is also here so it's a bit of a 2-in-1 spot.
Castelo de São Jorge
Good view over the city in general. Also, just a castle lol
Lisbon Cathedral
Cool looking cathedral with a bunch of interesting statues in it.
Sanctuary of Christ the King-Portugal
It's a statue with surprisingly long line (could be due to it being Sat but took me 2 hrs). The line is to go up and essentially be closer to the status and having a viewpoint look of the city (across the bridge).
