Be sure to get a day pass for all public transportation--metro, buses, trams. There are vending machines in the metro. 5 euros a day--well worth it. The no. 28 tram is the 'tourist route'--take it end to end.
Casa de Alentejo, Restaurant and private social club. Fantastic moorish-inspired interiors and tiled walls. The food is good enough--we liked the bacalao spiritual. http://www.casadoalentejo.pt/

We followed his tip and had drinks at the rooftop bar of the Hotel do Chiado (next to FNAC)--great views!
