2 Best Sights in Estrela, Campo de Ourique, and Lapa, Lisbon

Started in 1934, this is one of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood markets, now turned into one of the city’s hottest food destinations. The stalls of fresh fruits and vegetables now surround tables where customers sit for gourmet meals and drinks. It’s a lively place where you'll still find many locals.

A standout on Lisbon's skyline, this gleaming white basilica was built in the baroque and neoclassical styles. Its location at the top of one of Lisbon's seven hills makes for dramatic views from its rococo zimbório (dome). It was built at the end of the 18th century under the command of Queen Maria I (whose tomb lies within the building) to fulfill a religious promise she made while praying for a male heir. The interior is striking, too, with black-and-pink marble walls and floors and a famously elaborate nativity scene displayed year-round.
