Mercado da Ribeira
A traditional fresh market and food hall by Cais do Sodré.
Mornings belong to fish, fruit and flower sellers; later the hall fills up for lunch and dinner at long shared tables.
It is in the Baixa & Chiado neighbourhood. If you have time, Praça de São Paulo is 2 minutes on foot. The Lisbon in 7 days plan stops here. On a rainy day, swap for Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea - Museu do Chiado, the closest indoor option. It pairs well with the Cacilhas and Cristo Rei, across the Tagus trip. The nearest metro station is Cais do Sodré, about 110 m away; see how to use the metro.
