Time Out has even created a special shore experience with us in the heart of Lisbon. On selected holidays to the buzzing Portuguese capital, you can get a true taste of Portuguese cuisine with a hands-on gastronomic workshop in the world-famous Time Out Market and discover the Baixa district’s colourful Pink Street.

 

Your experience begins with a walking tour through Baixa, which is ready to charm with its grand plazas, stunning architecture and famous yellow trams nipping in and out of view. The painted and pedestrianised Pink Street beckons, one of Lisbon's most photo-worthy locations that transforms into a nightlife hotspot when the sun goes down.

 

Then it’s time for you to immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the Time Out Market. An experience like no other, you’ll tour the famous food market Mercado da Ribeira with a local expert chef and discover its history while shopping for all the ingredients you’ll need for your hands-on cooking experience. You’ll step into the Time Out Academy, roll up your sleeves and learn to prepare authentic Portuguese dishes. You may even arm yourself with new skills and a dish to add to your roster at home.
