With the railway and road networks having improved over the years, connecting to different attractions is easy, especially if they're not within trekking distance.
One of the main attractions that tourists must visit is the Thac Bac or silver waterfall that is located a few kilometres away from Sapa town. Another great place to explore is the Sapa Museum. A visit to the Time Out Market Lisboa is a must, with a large variety of local Portuguese cuisine and international menus on offer. There is always a party to be found in Lisbon, and most people choose to simply party outside on the streets.
Another great way to explore the city is to simply spend a few hours wandering the old city, purposefully getting lost. You never know the hidden gems you will come across.

The markets really come alive in the evenings so put some time aside to pick up a few select souvenirs or treasures in the Plaka and Monastiraki districts.
