The best places to eat in Lisbon, PortugalYou could easily survive four solid days in Lisbon on pastéis de nata and vinho verde – the iconic custard tarts and the sharp ‘green’ wine are everywhere in the Portuguese capital, and are well worth the indulgence. They were the only items I had on my to-eat list when I arrived on a late night flight to spend a long weekend in some much needed sunshine. But Lisbon’s food scene is vibrant yet still traditional at its heart; very much flourishing and I completely underestimated it....

For LX Factory, once the murals appeared the shops, restaurants and tourists soon followed....

Day trip to Sintra, Portugal’s fairytale citySintra. I’ve been visiting Lisbon for several years but somehow I never made it to Sintra for some reason.
