The schedule above is what the MEVAYA planner builds for a Monday. It only contains stops that are open that day — the planner reads each stop's closing days and will not route you to a closed venue, even one marked as essential.

The day covers about 3.0 km on foot, with no public transport needed.

No stop on this route needs advance booking.

09:00–11:00 — Alfama. The oldest quarter, the one part of Lisbon the 1755 earthquake left largely standing: a tangle of stairways, laundry lines and tiny squares falling from the castle to the river. Get lost on purpose; every downhill lane ends at the water eventually. It is a public open-air space with no ticket and no closing day.

11:14–11:49 — Praça do Comércio. The vast arcaded square where the royal palace stood until the 1755 earthquake, open on one side to the river. The yellow arcades and the marble steps down into the Tagus are the city's formal front door. It is a public open-air space with no ticket and no closing day.

12:02–12:42 — Lisbon Cathedral. A fortress-like Romanesque cathedral from the 12th century, built on the site of the main mosque after the Christian conquest. The nave is plain and dark; the cloister excavations, with Roman and Moorish layers exposed, are the surprise. Verified opening hours: November to April Monday to Saturday 10:00–18:00. May to October from 09:30, closing at 19:00 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Closed to visits on Sundays and holy days, when services take priority.

12:42–13:42 — Lunch. The planner reserves time to eat right after Lisbon Cathedral, so the afternoon continues from where the morning ended instead of detouring for food.

13:53–14:22 — Miradouro de Santa Luzia. A tiled terrace with a bougainvillea pergola looking over the Alfama rooftops to the river. Next door, Portas do Sol has the wider view; Santa Luzia has the azulejo panels and the shade. It is a public open-air space with no ticket and no closing day.

14:34–16:06 — São Jorge Castle. Moorish walls and a hilltop terrace with the widest view in the centre: the Baixa grid, the river and the bridge laid out below. The castle itself is mostly ramparts and gardens; you come for the walls and the panorama. Verified opening hours: 1 November to end of February daily 09:00–18:00 (last admission 17:30); 1 March to 31 October daily 09:00–21:00 (last admission 20:30). Wall-walks and towers close at 17:30 in winter and may close from 18:00 in summer depending on daylight. The castle museum is temporarily closed while the toilet facilities are upgraded.

16:18–17:10 — Tram 28. The 1930s yellow trams that grind up through Graça, Alfama and Estrela on rails barely wider than the street. Ride it as transport early in the morning; by mid-morning the queue at Martim Moniz is longer than the journey.

17:23–17:52 — Rossio. Lisbon's main square since the Middle Ages, paved in the wave-patterned black-and-white calçada that the city later copied all over the world. The neo-Manueline Rossio station on its western corner is worth the detour inside. It is a public open-air space with no ticket and no closing day.

Built by the MEVAYA planner from MEVAYA's curated Lisbon data. Opening hours were checked against official and independent sources in October 2026; the route, times and durations are the planner's own output, not estimates written by hand.
