Wear stable shoes
Historic neighborhoods use steep, uneven cobblestones (calçada); closed-toe shoes with good tread reduce slips and foot fatigue.
Pack a small daypack
Bring water, a light jacket, camera and any entrance tickets — the guide provides bottled water but shorter walks mean pockets free for maps and souvenirs.
Reserve museum tickets in advance
Major sites in Belém and Jerónimos Monastery can have queues; pre-book admissions if you want to avoid wait times.
Communicate mobility needs
If anyone has limited mobility, notify the operator at booking — the private vehicle can adjust stops and limit walking distance.
