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

First visit: Sintra, no contest. Second day out: the Fátima, Nazaré and Óbidos trio for three towns in one sweep, or Arrábida for coast and wine. For the Sintra-only comparison, see the best small-group Sintra tours.

The "8-People" tours guarantee a maximum of eight travellers; the rest run in small vans with caps listed on each tour page.

€55 to €85 per person. Most run 8 to 9 hours door to door; one half-day Sintra option runs five.

Comfortably: Sintra one day and the northern trio another is the classic pairing, with a rest day for the city in between.
