You made some great choices in your Lisbon itinerary, not forgetting Sintra and Parque das Nações, and you were smart getting the Lisboa Card. In many cities those tourist cards are not worth buying but in Lisbon it’s actually a great deal, saving you a lot of money and time in transportation and attractions!

The capital of Portugal has a huge cultural heritage to offer and a number of beautiful beaches around it with a great variety of waves. When it comes to sun and sea holidays, Lisbon is one of the best cities in Europe, but definitely is the best European capital in what concerns surfing. You can expect awesome weather and living atmosphere. Lisbon also offers many activities to do, do not just discover the urban side of it and more mainstream. There are plenty of amazing spots, less known and explored.

For those who love surfing or want to have a different experience, I definitely recommend to have a look to Surf’inn Surf Camps is a surf camps network intended to develop and promote a set of surf and kite activities.. This coast attracts surfers from all over the word due to its amazing conditions.

From May to October, Lisbon brights up with blue skies and sun shinning. Now blue jacarandas are beginning to blossom and it is the right time to start visiting the secret gardens Lisbon holds, such as Botânico, Necessidades, Ajuda, Ultramar, Gulbenkian, etc. June is the time of the Lisbon festivals, where old neighbourhoods are animated with local outside stalls with sardines, sangria and lots of music (not to forget the mnagericos!), everybody is out and there is a lot of events going on. And it is always time to start discovering beaches not far such as Meco and Alfarim where fresh sea food, lovely local Azeitão cheese, succulent grilled / lemon fish and white sangrias makes us wonder if this is not where we want to stay for the rest of our lives… well at least for me it did! Having a little place in the historic St. George Castle district that I love, sharing it with other travellers is a picturesque experience of old Lisbon that I hope you will enjoy: http://apartamentocastelo.blogspot.com/

How lovely.

Really interesting though, I am truly fascinated by the street-cars! I love seeing things that have yet to be transformed by technology.

It is with great pleasure (and pride) that I read this lovely article and your lovely comments. Thank you so much. Lisbon is, in fact, a beautiful town (though I’m a suspect, obviously) worth visiting it!
I hope you all return to Portugal because us, Portuguese people, we’ll welcome you with arms wide open! :)

Gwen, we did do a lot but then there’s so much to see (as you know!). Agree with you about the walkability – a great city to get around.
Lindy, the Lisbon card is tough to justify as you would have to go flat out around the tourist sites to get anywhere close to spending the equivalent of its value. Like I said, nothing is Lisbon is expensive compared to elsewhere in western Europe.
Jeremy, I agree with you – it is a very pleasant city and easy to get around. We’ll have to compare our photos side by side ;-)
