Lisbon on a Budget: A 7-Night January Plan

January in Lisbon is mild but wet, so plan around indoor sights and keep an umbrella handy. Expect good food and easy English, but watch your bag on trams and the metro since theft is a real issue.

1
Arrival and Baixa/Chiado orientation Settle into your stay, then walk Baixa's grid streets down to Praça do Comércio by the river. In the evening, head to Cais do Sodré for dinner, it has more going on than Bairro Alto in winter.
2
Alfama and the castle Climb to Castelo de São Jorge in the morning for the view over the rooftops. Spend the afternoon wandering Alfama's lanes down to Miradouro das Portas do Sol, then catch a fado show in the neighbourhood that evening.
3
Belém Morning for Jerónimos Monastery, then Torre de Belém after. Stop at the original Pastéis de Belém bakery for the custard tart, skip the copies sold near the monastery, then head back to Baixa for dinner.
4
Day trip to Sintra Take the train to Sintra in the morning and go early, it gets busy fast. Pena Palace and its gardens are the one thing worth the trip; skip Quinta da Regaleira if you're short on time, then train back to Lisbon for the evening.
5
Príncipe Real and LX Factory Morning in Príncipe Real for the garden and shops. Afternoon at LX Factory under the 25 de Abril bridge for its shops and lunch spots, then Time Out Market in the evening, pick a few stalls instead of one sit-down meal.
6
Day trip to Cascais Train from Cais do Sodré to Cascais in the morning, the ride runs along the coast. Walk the marina and old town in the afternoon, then train back to Lisbon for dinner.
7
Parque das Nações and Carmo Morning at the Oceanário in Parque das Nações. Afternoon walk along the riverfront, then cross back to Chiado to see the Carmo Convent ruins before a last dinner at a tasca away from the main tourist strip.

The DIY option isn't free food. It still budgets for groceries and cooking, but cooking some of your own meals instead of eating out every time brings the food line down.
