🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Conditions: Expect glorious spring warmth with daytime highs of +20°C to +22°C. The sun is bright, but the Atlantic breeze keeps it fresh. The "Jacaranda" Factor: You are visiting during the peak of the Jacaranda season. The city will be draped in lilac blossoms—keep your camera ready for the purple carpets on the sidewalks. Logistics & Gear: Lisbon’s "calçada portuguesa" (mosaic pavement) is notoriously slippery, especially if a light spring shower occurs. Wear sneakers with excellent grip. Clothing: The "onion style" (layering) is essential. It’s warm enough for a T-shirt at noon, but as soon as the sun dips behind the 25 de Abril Bridge at 20:37, you’ll want a light jacket or denim layer.

🍽 Where to eat
- Uma (Rua dos Sapateiros 177) — Famous for its "Arroz de Marisco" (seafood rice). It's a no-frills, legendary spot. Expect a queue, but it's the gold standard for budget-friendly seafood.
- A Tasca do Chico (Rua do Diário de Notícias 39) — Perfect for dinner. Known for "Chouriço Assumido" (flaming sausage). It’s a classic Bairro Alto "tasca" where you might catch impromptu Fado.
🎁 Souvenirs
- Garrafeira Nacional (Rua de Santa Justa 18) — A historic wine shop. Pick up a small bottle of Ginjinha (cherry liqueur) for a few dollars.
- Use the Elevador da Glória or Elevador da Bica for a classic photo op, but walk if you want to save the $4.00 fare (unless you have the 24h pass).
