Been walking up hills and down hills and eating and drinking our way round. Wonderful city and so friendly

Just reviving this topic as I’m off to Lisbon in a fortnight and need a little guidance. Some great recommendations so far and thanks in particular to @TheSlowMusicMovement for your suggestions. Am heading there with a few old mates and celebrating a 50th birthday, but we only have 48 hours in total. My mates are a bit more indie rock and a little less balearic but I’m sure they’ll be looking forward to the chance to get a bit wonky after some good food.
In short, and given the time constraints, where would you definitely recommend culture-wise, and where for a good night out? Any other recommendations over and above the already great list in this thread.
Thanks
PS. does anyone know the name of the place that does the best pasteis de nata and has been serving them longer than anywhere else? I read about it somewhere but can’t recall the name.
Don’t know the name of the place but it’s right next to the hotel I stayed in. Le Consulat. Praça de Luís de Camões 22.

Thanks @Nice2CU2CUNice and @elzorro - think you’ve both identified the same place, and, more importantly, the right place.

Manteigaria definitely edge it over Pasteis de Belem in my humble opinion. Had both on the same trip. There’s my tuppence worth.

Just about to start going through this thread ahead of having a long weekend in Lisbon next weekend.
Any updated recommendations would be great. Record shops and things to do with a 5yo!
Cheers
Headed there in a month with the wife for her 40th. We’re headed to Milan as well but what my missus doesn’t know about there isn’t worth knowing.
We have 72 hours or so. I’ve been told no record shops which is fair enough.
Wife wants to know about flea markets that have furniture, clothes and jewelry. Any ideas?
haha, no tips until you’re allowed a quick dig😅
be a shame if some of those flea markets had records for sale

I saved loads of stuff from this thread (and proceeded to go to none of them) so if you scroll past the skate spots there’s some probably really great tips in here.
My only tip is use the Bird scooters cos they don’t slow you down going downhill and it’s absolutely terrifying/great fun
