If you are on a diet, Lisbon is not the place for you. Home to the freshest seafood and the most delicious sweet treats – there is no way you can say no to Portuguese delicacies. A three-hour long food tour around Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood, Alfama, will give you a good taste (pun not intended) of Portugal’s incredible gastronomy. And if you haven’t tried pasteis de nata yet (the country’s traditional pastry), you are definitely missing out.
