Lisbon Like a Local: My Insider's Guide to the City's Best Kept Secrets

By Silvia Pinho

Forget the typical tourist traps and experience Lisbon through the eyes of someone born and raised just across the river! This isn't your average city guide; it's my personal collection of secrets to help you travel smarter, save money, and discover the authentic soul of Lisbon.

Inside, you'll find my favorite local hacks, including:

  • How to get the same breathtaking city views as the famous "Elevador de Santa Justa" for about half the price and without the ridiculously long lines. I'll show you why the "Arco da Rua Augusta" is the savvy traveler's choice.

  • Where to find the most delicious "Pastéis de Nata" that, in my opinion, are even better than the world-famous (and crowded) "Pastéis de Belém." Say goodbye to queues and hello to creamy, flaky perfection at Manteigaria.

  • Essential tips for digital nomads and remote workers! Discover my favorite coworking spots like IDEA Spaces São Sebastião, Résvés, and Tribe Social Chiado, and learn how the Croissant app can be your key to the city's best workspaces.

This guide is packed with practical advice to help you avoid the crowds and upcharges, ensuring you experience the true magic of Lisbon. I'll even include some advice for venturing over to my side of the river for an unforgettable day trip!
