About Lisbon

This captivating tourist location is the hilly, coastal capital of Portugal. This city consists of hills and mountains that overlook River Teio and combines charming old neighborhoods and lively urban sections. 

From striking São Jorge Castle, the view encompasses the old city’s pastel-colored buildings and Tagus Estuary and Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge. To get the perfect picture, there are many guided tours to help you see it all. 

The city has a variety of terraces and rooftop bars that offer beautiful vistas of the ancient city. Moreover, the city is surrounded by serene coastlines, making it a great summer spot. You can easily reach many untapped beaches, including Caparica, Sesimbra, and Guincho, using public transportation, a car, or the Cascais train line. 

In addition, Lisbon is quite budget-friendly and offers tons of choices for affordable accommodation and eateries. Nearby, the National Azulejo Museum displays 5 centuries of decorative ceramic tiles, which is a well-known main quality of Lisbon.

When is the Best Time to Visit

Lisboa has a great geographic position. The weather is welcoming all round the year. The city has a long warm summer and wet winter.

The best time to visit the city is late spring that begins after April to early autumn and late October. The temperature in mild spring ranges from 16 °C (60°F) to 25 °C (75 °F) and is ideal for exploring the seven hills of the city.

The number of tourists is less during this time, and the weather is glorious. If you want to enjoy the festive vibes in Lisboa, visiting the city in June is the best idea. It is the time when Festas Santos Populares festivities create a magical environment. Plus, evening breezes and fantastic beaches make Lisboa’s summers ideal for sightseeing.
