Hit the ground running — and early — for day one in Belém. Queue up for a Portuguese custard tart at Pastais de Belém. Your stomach will thank you and the sweet treat will fuel you for a day spent exploring the neighborhood, from the Torre de Belém to Jeronimos Monastery and the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. As you wander, pop into any of the quaint area restaurants for lunch. Check into your accommodations at Hotel Mundial and enjoy dinner and drinks with a view on site.
Day two is for exploring the city center’s neighborhoods — Baixa, Alfama and Barrio Alto. There are many highlights throughout these areas, including Convento do Carmo, Elevador Santa Justa and Castel de Sao Jorge. Make time for lunch at TimeOut Market, a gourmet food market not to be missed. Peruse the many options and take your time. You also cannot miss finding a spot to taste Ginjinha, a sour cherry liqueur popular in Lisbon. For a stunning viewpoint in Alfama, venture to Miradouro de Santa Luzia. At night, find a restaurant in Alfama offering food and a Fado performance, before delving into the nightlife in Barrio Alto, especially along Pink Street.
Tough decision for day three: Would you prefer a daytrip to storybook Sintra or the seaside town of Cascais? Either way, you won’t be disappointed in your last day in the capital. Sintra offers Pena Palace and Moorish Castle, as well as Quinta da Regalara, while a quick 20-minute walk in Cascais takes you to the Boca do Inferno.

According to Merriam-Webster, wellness, a noun, is defined as “the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal.” As the definition states and as the travel industry knows, wellness reaches far beyond just simply being not sick; for some, the idea of wellness is an entire lifestyle. Wellness is sought daily, at home and, for many, while traveling. The meaning of the word can also shape-shift depending on the person. Maybe for you it’s morning meditation every day, while for your neighbor it’s splurging on a luxury spa day while on a beach vacation.
