Crew Notes

Lisbon is built on hills—plan for steps and slick sidewalks, especially if it’s wet. If you’re short on time, pick ONE neighborhood (Alfama/Baixa/Chiado) and do it right instead of bouncing all over. For the best photos, chase viewpoints early or near sunset. Keep your phone secure in crowded tourist zones (common-sense travel rules).
