Why this route works
The first route should connect accommodation, mobile data, groceries and dependable transport. If remote work is part of the stay, add a backup workspace without turning arrival day into a cross-city task list.

90 min · WorkWalk central clusters; use Metro for longer jumps
Group Baixa, Chiado and Rossio stops on foot, then use Metro or tram only when the next district is meaningfully farther away. Lisbon's slopes make a short map distance feel longer, so keep uphill walking light after work. A Carris/Metro trip is €1.90, a 24-hour ticket is €7.25 and the metropolitan monthly pass is €40.
