🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Lisbon is the "Golden Window." Expect pleasant daytime temperatures (+21°C to +24°C) and cool, breezy evenings (+13°C). Clothing: Layering is key. A light jacket or hoodie is essential for the Atlantic breeze at Cabo da Roca and late-night strolls in Bairro Alto. Footwear: Wear sneakers with excellent grip. Lisbon’s calçada portuguesa (white limestone pavement) is notoriously slippery, especially on the steep hills of Alfama. Sun Protection: The sun is stronger than it feels due to the breeze; wear SPF during the day.

🍽 Where to eat
  • Manteigaria (Rua do Loreto 2) — Forget the tourist traps; locals swear these are the best Pastéis de Nata in the center. Watch them make the tarts through the glass.
  • Time Out Market Stalls (Av. 24 de Julho) — Try the "Prego" (steak sandwich) at O Prego da Peixaria or seafood at Monte Mar .
🎁 Souvenirs
  • Loja das Conservas (Rua do Arsenal 130) — Beautifully designed tins of sardines and mackerel. It’s like an art gallery of canned fish.
  • Use the Metro Red Line from the airport, then switch to Green/Blue. For a group of 2, a Bolt ride to the city center is often only $10-15 and much faster.
