I must say, Mercado Da Ribeira is not a tourist trap per se, it's a gourmet place, with fine food, but not totally traditional, more like new age food, fusion food of Portuguese flavours, and international food. some of the stands are of famous Portuguese chefs. but because its gourmet its also pricey as hell. You find variances on traditional food like croquettes, or gourmet bacalhau dishes, or deconstructed dishes like the bacalhau a bras, it has good food and good ingredients, you can even fin a "manteigaria" the one you ate the "natas" there.
I consider tourist traps the restaurants in rua Augusta and around Rossio, they are the ones who try to sell you Portuguese food, but usually made by foreigners working on those restaurants and of low quality, usually those restaurants will have anything from Portuguese food to Italian and indian mixed in...

I see, that's good to know thanks 👍 maybe I'll try it in the future if I return. I was mainly turned off by the huge crowd of people in there haha

@@TreeOnlyTravels ohh yeah super busy for sure, there's other similar markets transformed from real markets out there that is less busy, like campo de Ourique market

To go the Castle, you have the Bus at Praça da Figueira and the elevator at Rua dos Fanqueirosnear and you take another elevator at Rua da Madalena e the sortie is pretty close of tha castle, near 200 metres ...and there is also the famous tram 28, but is always full of turists ...
