You start in flat Baixa where streets are geometric and easy. Thirty minutes later, Lisbon reminds you it was built on effort.
Better uphill method
- Outsource the steepest segment.
- Walk the most scenic segment.
- Pause before the final push.
Energy rule
Protect your legs for viewpoints and old-town lanes, not for the least beautiful climbs.
You do not earn extra points for unnecessary suffering.
