citylikeyou — Palacio de la Fronteira

Lisbon / Architecture

This place is one of my favourite secret spots in Lisbon. It is famous for its stunning formal gardens and 17th and 18th century decorative tiles with some of the country’s finest, depicting hunting, battles, and religious scenes, statuary and fountains. So let’s keep it as a secret between us.

Lisbon / Cafe

In the very touristic Graça area, there is this heaven place, hidden from tourists. This café belongs to the theater da Garagem. It has an amazing view, the atmosphere is peaceful and with a lot of light. They don't have wifi if you plan to work there though..

Lovely little cafe with beautiful decor. Excellent pastries and friendly atmosphere.

Lisbon / Restaurant

Fish, fish, fish. The crab is amazing. You get a hammer and hammer your way through delicious fish meat. The famous fish restaurant 'Ramiro' is a couple hundred meters down the street. It has lines for hours, not worth it! Walk up to this one with no line, half of the price and frankly better food as they don't need to rush.
