Lisbon Travel Guide: Flights & Hotels
Portugal · LIS
Lisbon is Portugal's hilly, coastal capital, known for its pastel-colored buildings, historic trams, and easy day trips to Sintra and the Atlantic coast. Direct flights from major US hubs make it one of the most accessible Western European capitals, and hotel prices are generally lower than in Paris or London for a comparable standard.
The best time to visit is April through June or September through October, when the weather is mild and crowds are smaller than peak summer. Book flights 2-4 months ahead for the best fares, and consider staying in the Baixa or Chiado neighborhoods for easy access to public transport.
