If your cruise only gives you a few hours in Lisbon, don’t worry — you can still experience the best of the city.
The key is keeping things simple and not trying to do too much (those hills will slow you down fast).

Don’t try to do: Everything
Time available: ~6 hours
Best transport: Walking + Uber
