So, folks, what should our programme be? We would welcome
recommendations on where to stay, what to eat and where to eat it,
what to do, and what to look at.

- Go to Belém and visit the Tower of Belém/Torre de Belém and the Jerónimos Monastery/Mosteiro dos Jerónimos
- Take a ride with tram #28. It takes you to a lot of Lisbon's sights.
- If you are into Art and even if you're not, visit the Gulbenkian Museum/Museu Calouste Gulbenkian. It's free on Sundays.
- Go to the former Expo 98 site, now Nations Park/Parque das Nações. There's is a shopping center nearby, you could go on a cable car ride or just sit and relax and watch people passing by etc.
- Take a ride with one of the elevators/funiculars
- Visit the St. George's Castle/Castelo de Sâo Jorge, an old Moorish castle
- Visit Alfama, the city's oldest quarter, and Bairro Alto, if you want to see Lisbon's nightlife.

Public transport will get you for "free" to all of these places if you have a day pass, even tram #28 and the elevators/funiculars are included in the day pass.
