Getting to know a city doesn’t mean having to empty your wallet, especially if you visit the Portuguese capital. The magic word in this article is free, so if the date of your trip is coming up, include in your plans our suggestions for things to do for free in Lisbon.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get to know the historical center<\/h4>\n

As obvious as it may sound when you need to find free activities in Lisbon, there is no better than a good walk around the city. Lisbon is full of beautiful surprises around every corner. Take a walk through the neighborhoods of Alfama or Bairro Alto, visit the hills and explore the colorful alleys.<\/p>\n

In the city, you’ll find an eclectic mix of old buildings and streetcars alongside vibrant street art and breathtaking panoramic views.<\/p>\n

Free yourself from maps and apps, grab a pastel de nata for the road (this one is unfortunately not free but worth all the investment), and delight in the best Lisbon offers.<\/p>\n

Free guided tours<\/h4>\n

If you prefer a guided tour to get to know the city better, you can also book one for free. These tours usually take you around the city and some well-known historical monuments. When the end comes, although it is free, it is common to reward the guide for his work with a fee that you think is fair. Book your visit or get to know their itinerary in detail here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Refresh yourself at P\u00e1tio da \u00c1gua<\/h4>\n

After a walk around the city, nothing tastes better than a good refreshment. Until September 9, the P\u00e1tio da \u00c1gua will be at Avenida da Liberdade offering glasses of tap water to those who visit the place. If you think you will find simple tap water here, you will be surprised by the added fruits and herbs to create flavored waters, which makes the experience much more refreshing!<\/p>\n

The ice cream brand Santini will also be present during some happy hours with tap water lemon-mint picolinis.<\/p>\n

P\u00e1tio da \u00c1gua is open during the week from 11:30 am to 6:30 pm, but the ice creams are only available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm.<\/p>\n

Have a picnic in the park<\/h4>\n

Taking a break in one of Lisbon’s beautiful green spaces is the perfect way to relax after walking all over the city. In the center, you will find several easily accessible parks that are ideal for resting or enjoying a nice meal outdoors:<\/p>\n
