2 Best Sights in Lisbon, Portugal

Started in 1934, this is one of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhood markets and over the last few years has turned into one of the city’s hottest food destinations. The stalls of fresh fruits and vegetables now surround tables where customers sit for meals and drinks prepared at the newer gourmet stalls. It’s a lively place where you still find many locals, unlike at the bigger and more famous Time Out Market by the river.

A local landmark since 1892, the Mercado da Ribeira is worth a visit to see where locals go for stalls selling the city’s freshest fruit, vegetables, fish, and seafood. An adjoining hall has been taken over by very popular and busy food hall, Time Out Market, where Lisbon’s top chefs and restaurants present their best creations to be enjoyed at communal seating areas. The massive warehouse building is where tourists get an overview of local gastronomy and where locals find their favorite bites.
