Depending on the weather a hat, sun cream and glasses, or a jacket and umbrella might be valuable. Observe that a cold wind, especially during evenings, is often present in Lisbon.
Especially for excursionists, high heals are discouraged due to slippery and not even side walks. Comfortable (not slippery) shoes are preferred.
