The mild temperatures mean you can still explore outdoor neighborhoods like Alfama and Príncipe Real comfortably without summer heat.
Bairro Alto is loud tourist bar strip; locals drink at LX Factory in Alcantara or Cais do Sodre pink street. Real ginjinha cherry liquor is at A Ginjinha in Rossio, one shot 1.5 euro since 1840.
