Time Out Market Lisboa
Best time to visit
Early afternoon avoids the dinner rush and offers a lively yet manageable crowd for tasting variety. Weekdays have a more relaxed pace than weekends.
Budget tips
No entry fee, just pay per stall; sharing dishes can stretch your budget without missing out on variety. Avoid peak meal times to find vendors more willing to chat about specials.

Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for standing and walking around the busy market space.
- Head to the pastel de nata stall early as they sell out fast by late afternoon.
- Get a window seat upstairs for great views and photo ops of the market buzz below.
- Skip heavy mains if you want to sample more items; focus on small plates and snacks instead.
