Lisbon is more than city streets and river views. Just beyond the city center, forests, cliffs, and ancient trails are waiting to be explored. Here's how to find them—no car required.

I see flowers in the grass, which suggests we may be approaching a Mediterranean Spring. Lisbon isn't just a city of pretty flowers, pastel de nata (egg pastries), and azulejos (tiles). It's also a place where you can go from a busy café to a quiet mountain trail in under an hour—without even needing a car. I love this because I can avoid driving.

Wear good, comfortable shoes for these journeys.

If you're like me and crave being outdoors to get some fresh air and a break from the city, here are five amazing hikes that are just a train or bus ride from the city center.
