Even on the weekend, there\u2019s never a dull moment in the city of seven hills!<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sunday in Lisbon starts lazily, in a mix of people returning home after a Saturday night out partying and others going on their morning run by the Tagus River. A lot of the stores are closed and caf\u00e9s typically open later. It\u2019s the perfect day of the week to slow down the pace, do some people watching, and get under the skin of the city. At Devour Lisbon we have a few suggestions on what to do in Lisbon on Sundays.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Enjoy<\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Start with Brunch<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Going out for brunch in Lisbon<\/a> isn’t a Portuguese tradition, but the trend has stuck around in the city for a while now. Therefore these days it’s hard to not find a place advertising brunches on Sundays and some even dare to serve it all day, every day of the week. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Locals\u2019 favorite spots include the Instagrammable Nicolau Lisboa<\/a> in the Baixa-Chiado neighborhood and the less crowded Dear Breakfast<\/a> near the Santos neighborhood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Stroll by the Tagus River<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, there\u2019s a chance the weather will be just right for a walk by the Tagus River. The pathways between Cais do Sodr\u00e9 and Alc\u00e2ntara, and Padr\u00e3o dos Descobrimentos and the Bel\u00e9m Tower are the most popular. They\u2019re also bike-friendly in case you\u2019d rather pedal your way through. Too cold to be outside? Find refuge in one of the Cais do Sodr\u00e9 caf\u00e9s with a view to the river.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Visit Museums in the Afternoon<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Paid museums are free for Portuguese citizens from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays, which means some places will probably be more crowded during this window. If visiting a couple of museums is part of your Sunday in Lisbon plans, go after lunch. It\u2019s more likely you\u2019ll have the place to yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Hunt for Bargains at the LxMarket<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most street shops close on Sundays, except during holiday season in December, so locals flock to big malls like Colombo and Vasco da Gama. Go further west, to the heart of the old industrial area in the city, and you\u2019ll come across the hippest second-hand market in Lisbon. The LxMarket<\/a> happens every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., just under the 25 de Abril bridge, on the grounds of LX Factory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Explore Lisbon\u2019s Most Famous Urban Park<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Step inside the gardens of the Gulbenkian Foundation<\/a> and you\u2019ll feel the city around you has disappeared. Designed by renowned Portuguese landscape architects in the late 1960s, everything from trees and resident animals to art has its place and its purpose. Weather permitting, grab a book and sit at the outside amphitheater. On rainy days, explore the two museums at the foundation. Both are free on Sundays after 2 p.m.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Soccer Fan? Attend a Match in the Evening<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Soccer season in Portugal runs from August to May. With two professional teams in the major league, Benfica<\/a> and Sporting<\/a>, you have great chances to catch a game and see how locals root for their favorite teams. Bonus points if that match is between the two big local ones. Food trucks line up outside the stadium selling mostly bifanas<\/em> and pregos<\/em>, the staple dishes of Lisbon street food.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

7. Grab a Drink with a View<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the perks of a hilly city is the number of great views, most of them unofficial and free. Pair that with your favorite drink, and you got the perfect end to your Sunday in Lisbon. Go for a classic view over Chiado<\/a>, like the one you get from Entretanto Rooftop Bar<\/a>, or opt to look at the Santa Justa lift and the S. Jorge castle from a different angle, at TOPO Chiado<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
