3 days, 2 nights, 2 travellers, mid-range, flying from New York. Usual prices we track ourselves, not a price you can book.

How we know

Fare: the middle price of the economy round trips we found from New York on our latest check (half were cheaper, half dearer), for departures in the coming weeks.
Hotel night: the middle nightly price of the Lisbon hotels we check three times a week (see our hotel price index).
Daily spend: food, local transport and sights per person, from our city guide, by travel style. The hotel isn't in it.
Total: fare × travellers + hotel night × nights × rooms + daily spend × travellers × days. Prices move, so treat it as a guide, not a quote.

Each day's highlights in order. Want more days or a different pace? The planner at the end reshapes it around you.

Verified spots in Lisbon that the classic route skips.

Hidden GemsMiradouro da Graça
Far less crowded than São Pedro de Alcântara, this neighbourhood viewpoint delivers an unobstructed sightline to the castle at golden hour while locals play cards at the kiosk behind you.
Hidden GemsMoney Museum
Housed inside a beautifully restored 16th-century church within the Bank of Portugal, this free museum traces the 2,500-year history of money with surprisingly absorbing vaulted exhibitions.
Hidden GemsTaberna da Rua das Flores
A tiny counter-and-tiles tavern in Chiado serving rotating petiscos like smoked alheira sausage and clams in coriander butter to a crowd of regulars who book weeks ahead.
Hidden GemsFeira da Ladra
Lisbon's oldest flea market spreads across the Campo de Santa Clara every Tuesday and Saturday, where you can dig through azulejo fragments, vintage cork products, and military medals.
Fine DiningFeitoria
Set inside the Altis Belém hotel with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Tagus, João Rodrigues' one-Michelin-star menu traces the full geography of Portuguese ingredients, from Azorean limpets to Trás-os-Montes game.
Fine DiningAlma
Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa's two-Michelin-star restaurant in Chiado reimagines the Portuguese larder — salt cod, percebes, and Alentejo pork — through a quietly modern lens.

Each place was checked on Google Maps: real address, right city, still open.
