Planning a trip to Lisbon

Best time to visit

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.

Getting there & around

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most tours on this page run 8 to 15 travellers in a minivan; the 8-People tour guarantees a maximum of eight. Exact caps are listed on each tour page.

For Sintra, usually yes: minivans reach viewpoints big coaches can't, palace entries move faster with fewer people, and hotel pickup replaces the train queue. The price gap is often under €15.

It varies: some include entry, others leave tickets out so you can choose which palaces to enter. Check the "What's included" list on the tour page before booking.
