Why you'll love it
Lisbon is Portugal's hilly capital on the Tagus River, known for tiled buildings, vintage trams and sunset viewpoints. It scores 9 out of 10 for food and 8 for culture, nightlife, romance, remote work and safety, an easy-going mix that makes it a favourite for long weekends and longer stays.
The best time to visit Lisbon is March to May or September to October, with mild, sunny weather for walking the hills. Summer is hot and busy.
Ride tram 28 through the old Alfama neighbourhood, and head to Belém for its monastery, tower and famous custard tarts. The Bairro Alto fills with bars at night, and fado music is best heard in a small Alfama venue. Sintra's palaces and the beaches of Cascais are easy day trips by train.
Lisbon suits couples, food lovers and remote workers.
