Okay, so you have lots of time on your hands. Go to Cais do Sodré ferry and catch the shuttle to Cacilhas (about 15 minutes). The boat will cross the Tagus giving you a pretty awsome view of the city. Once on the other side, take a short walk along the river until you get to this great typical seafood joint. The views are well worth the trip.
