Lisbon rewards a visit year-round, but spring (March to May) and early autumn (September to October) are the sweet spot: warm days, lighter crowds and better prices than peak summer. July and August are hot and busiest, ideal for boat and beach day trips, while winters stay mild, quiet and great value.
Most visitors land at Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), about 20 minutes from the centre by metro or taxi. The city is walkable but steep, so lean on the historic trams, the metro and short rideshare hops between hills. Many tours include hotel pickup or start from central, easy-to-reach meeting points.
From about €90 per person for a full private trip, €120 to €170 for most full-day tours, and up to €295 with every palace ticket included. One operator prices per vehicle: €595 for up to 7 people.
Usually not. Five of the 25 tours on this page include at least the Pena Palace ticket; the rest leave entries out so you can choose which palaces to go inside.
Small-group Sintra tours run €55 to €85 per person; private ones mostly €90 to €170 with your own van, route and pace. For three or four people, per-vehicle pricing can close most of the gap. Compare the best small-group Sintra tours before deciding.
Half-day options run 4 to 6 hours; the standard full day is 8, stretching to 9 when the route adds the full Cascais coast loop.
The wildest beach within reach of Lisbon, where the wind runs the day. Which bus actually goes there, whether you can swim, and how to time the nortada.
Lisbon's own beach is 15km of Atlantic sand across the bridge. Which bus to take, which stretch to pick, and why the famous beach train still isn't running.
