The 25 de Abril Bridge and the Belém Tower are visible from the river approach. Alfama, the oldest district, has narrow alleys, tiled facades, and Fado music bars. The Castle of São Jorge sits at the top of the hill with views over the city and river. Belém, downstream, has the Jerónimos Monastery and the Tower of Belém, both from the Manueline era. Pastéis de Belém, the bakery next to the monastery, has been making custard tarts since 1837 and there's usually a queue. Tram 28 winds through the old neighbourhoods and is an experience in itself, though it gets crowded. The Baixa shopping district has shops and restaurants on a grid of pedestrian streets. The Mercado da Ribeira (Time Out Market) has food stalls from Lisbon's restaurants. The metro covers most of the city efficiently. ## Your day in Lisbon Walk off at the Lisbon Cruise Terminal; Alfama is about 350 m east and Praça do Comércio about 1 km west on flat riverside. ### Map - **Cruise terminal**: Lisbon Cruise Terminal berth, Jardim do Tabaco / Santa Apolonia quay (38.70987, -9.12523) - **Train to Sintra**: Rossio railway station, 31 min walk (38.71472, -9.14222) Walking times from the cruise terminal: - Within 15 min: Praça do Comércio, Lisbon Cathedral - Within 30 min: Carmo Convent Map data with the walking areas: [GeoJSON](https://cruisello.com/api/day-in-port/3d60dc36-4311-4aff-b1ab-1c077e3630e0.geojson) ### What to see #### Jerónimos Monastery Manueline monastery from 1501 with Vasco da Gama's tomb and a two-storey cloister.
