Cultural Itinerary through Lisbon in the Summer!
July 01 2024
Culture Gastronomy Hotel Roma Visit Lisbon 
Lisbon, with its “Menina e Moça” charm, enchants at first sight and first visit. An irresistible destination, the city of seven hills gains a special magic during the summer. With longer days and the sun shining brightly, the Portuguese capital reveals itself in vivid colors, like the lilac of the jacarandas.
Join us on a cultural itinerary through Lisbon that celebrates the beauty, history, and vibrancy of this seductive city on the hottest days of the year!
1. Sunrise at Miradouro da Senhora do Monte
We start the day at Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, where the sunrise offers a stunning panoramic view over Lisbon. This is one of the most peaceful viewpoints in the capital, providing a wide view that encompasses the immaculate Igreja da Graça, the Castelo de São Jorge, the city's guardian, and the admirable river Tejo, always serene and gleaming. The morning silence, only broken by the first trams, gives us a moment of peace and contemplation. An inspiring way to embrace a new day in the capital of fado!
2. Tasty Morning at Sala Lisboa
After enjoying the view, nothing beats a diverse breakfast. It's waiting for us at Sala Lisboa in Hotel Roma in Alvalade. This cozy and elegant space offers a variety of options, from fresh seasonal fruits to traditional Portuguese pastries, including the famous pastel de nata. Here, it's also mandatory to try the fruit juices, internationalize the palate with croissants, and recharge batteries for a perfect day exploring Lisbon's culture.
3. Green Walks through Jardim do Campo Grande
Our itinerary suggestion continues, this time through green stops. The invitation before lunch is a refreshing walk in Jardim Dr. Mário Soares, better known as Jardim do Campo Grande. Spanning the size of six football fields, it is one of the largest and oldest green spaces in Lisbon. Among its inhabitants are a lake with small boats, padel courts, a children's park, mathematical benches, and a bike path. Generous in shade provided by century-old trees, it is a true oasis of tranquility in one of the city's main arteries and, of course, a perfect refuge on hot summer days.
4. Lunch with the Lusitanian Capital at Fiesta Café!
Friendly, cozy, familiar. That's how Restaurante Fiesta Café in Hotel Roma presents itself, a space framed by Lisbon's natural light that welcomes visitors with a gastronomic experience worth savoring and asking for more. As the tradition of Portuguese cuisine> dictates, codfish could not be missed, and here it is served with good company, with cornbread crust over caramelized red onion and sautéed fried potatoes. Did we whet your appetite?
5. By the Tagus Towards Belém's Cultural Wealth
In the early afternoon, it's imperative to visit an old city inhabitant: the Tagus River. Renting a bike at Cais do Sodré and pedaling, with the breeze, along the riverside is an exciting way to feel the Lisbon summer. Our proposal? Follow the bike path to Belém. Along the way, iconic locations emerge on the horizon: the 25 de Abril Bridge, the MAAT Museum, the Jerónimos Monastery, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, and the Belém Tower. If we need to recharge our energy to continue exploring, just three words: pastel de nata (especially the ones from Pastéis de Belém factory!)
6. Typical Dinner with Chef's Signature
How about dinner in one of the world's largest gastronomic venues? With 40 spaces of various categories, at Cais do Sodré we find the Mercado da Ribeira, also known as Time Out Market. Fish and seafood, meat, vegetarian options, sweets, and desserts gather under one roof to provide an unparalleled tasting experience. Here, we find numerous typical Portuguese dishes, prepared by the city's best chefs, ranging from snacks to more elaborate dishes. Always with quality and authentic flavor!
7. Feel the City Pulsate Under the Moonlight
To end the day, we suggest a night of outdoor activities. During the summer, Lisbon comes alive with outdoor events and shows. It could be a concert in Jardim da Estrela, a cinema session at the Carmo ruins, or a dance performance in Praça do Comércio. The city vibrates with the energy of residents and visitors, providing unforgettable moments under the stars. And we just have to enjoy them!
After a day full of activities and emotions, Hotel Roma is the perfect place to surrender to the comfort of a good night's sleep. Located in the Alvalade neighborhood, this hotel on Avenida de Roma combines modernity and tradition, with an excellent quality/price ratio. Its privileged location, a few steps from Campo Pequeno and in the middle of one of Lisbon's most emblematic avenues, makes Hotel Roma the ideal starting point to explore the city.
With over 40 years of history, we offer a welcoming and personalized experience, with a strong connection to culture, Lisbon, and you.
