Lisbon

We tested 1,000 places and included only the 30 best

Drink a cocktail that takes you back in time, slip into a pocket-sized bookstore, unlock the secrets of bacalhau, run with the clouds, make a stopover in the tropics, clink glasses with an old-timer, awaken your inner ceramics-maker, scuffle with a spider crab, see a film at sunset under the open skies, infiltrate the secret hide-away of the city's fado singers ...

The '30 experiences' collection is a new approach to the art of traveling that's all about vagabonding around town, chance encounters, and unforgettable experiences. Guides for those who want to unlock the hidden doors of a city, feel out its heartbeat, plumb every last nook and cranny to uncover its soul.
