The route around the ferry terminal is very interesting.
Do stop off to visit the submarine and the frigate. It’s impressive!
To get up to the site of the gigantic statue of Christ, I recommend taking a bus. On foot, the route is rather uninteresting.

Three neighbourhoods, three atmospheres: Principe Real is chic and elegant with its main street, Chiado is a place of culture and knowledge, Bairro Alto is, on the surface, calm and serene, but at night it takes on a different, much more festive character.

⚑Departure from Lisboa (Lisbon District)
Located on the highest hill in the city, this neighbourhood is like a small village with lots of little things to see and quite a bit of street art. Be careful though, as the streets are often steep and you need good shoes. This route does not return to the starting point.
