Local tips for Lisbon
Lisbon is built on seven hills and paved with polished limestone calçada that turns slick in the rain — shoes with real grip matter more than anything else you pack.
November is one of the wettest months, but showers tend to come and go. A light waterproof shell beats an umbrella on the windy viewpoints (miradouros).
Dress codes are relaxed; smart-casual is plenty for dinner in Chiado or Príncipe Real.
