Things to do in Lisbon, no research required

Lisbon is a walking city that will absolutely wreck your legs, so it helps to know which hills are worth it. Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is one of them, the viewpoint with the reviews to back it and the right place to start. Work down into Alfama for pastries at Alfama Doce, a small bakery holding a 4.9 from people who go back constantly. Breakfast Lovers Misericórdia has the longest queue in the district and the reviews explain why. For the evening, Associação Loucos e Sonhadores is the low-key wine-and-conversation option rather than the loud one. Between the tile museum, the castle and the river, the day fills itself.
