Things to note
We recommend that you use comfortable shoes good for walking through the hills of Lisbon, nonslippery shoes suitable for the limestone that can be found in most of the streets of the Portuguese capital. Most of the year, we also recommend that you use sunscreen. Besides the shoes and sunscreen no further special recommendations although the good spirit is always a good “thing” to bring on a walking tour.
