What about dressy dinners in Lisbon?
Most cities accept clean sneakers or light boots for smart-casual dinners. If you have a black-tie night, pack one dress shoe and wear your walking pair on the plane.
Any tips for packing shoes for Lisbon?
Wear the bulkiest pair on the plane, stuff socks into the packed pair, and use a shoe bag so damp soles do not ruin clothes. Pack a thin spare pair of socks for rainy days.
Do cobblestones or hills change what shoes I need in Lisbon?
Yes — hills reward cushion and traction. Prioritize walking shoes or trail-leaning sneakers over fashion flats.
