The Wine About Winter event will be held in Lisbon Square on Saturday, Feb. 26 from 3 to 6 p.m. Tickets cost $10 per person and include a wine tasting at each stop plus snacks and a Chinese auction.

For some sweeping views of Lisbon – particularly Rossio Square and the Baixa neighborhood ... either very early in the day or very late at night, but even that isn't a guarantee.

To get from the downtown area to Belem, hop on tram No. 15 or No. 127 from Figueira Square ... when traveling at night, especially around some of the top attractions and in Lisbon's outskirts.
