Knocking on doors is literally what I do when I travel. It is an ongoing treasure hunt, and one person often leads me to the next. I love peering into artists' worlds, getting a feel for their personalities and inspirations through their workspaces. I've been traveling to Lisbon for over 15 years now. It is a city I enjoy returning to again and again. It's changing fast, but there is a lot of history and charm to unravel; you need to know where to go.

Overall, you are bound to enjoy your time in Portugal, which is rich in culture, cuisine, and craftsmanship. The terrain is extremely diverse, and Lisbon is the jumping-off point for accessing everything from miles of beautiful beaches to rugged mountains, small historic villages, and picturesque hiking trails. And, of course, a stimulating mix of design and innovation. Not to mention the generous hospitality from everyone you meet!

This guide includes my favorite restaurants, shops, small ateliers, and artisanal brands, along with a few hotels. I have tried to edit down as much as possible, bringing you the best—primarily the historic enterprises and small, lesser-known gems.

My recommendations also focus on artisanal, a world I love and one you can appreciate through different experiences in Lisbon. For me, artisanal means extra care and attention to quality, beauty, and details. That is what I look for when I travel, and that is what you will find in the coming pages of this guide.
