8 days in Lisbon Itinerary

Built on seven hills, Lisbon has experienced a renaissance in recent years, making it the cultural star of Portugal.

Explore Lisbon's surroundings by going to Sintra (Câmara Municipal, Quinta da Regaleira, &more), Cabo da Roca (in Colares) and Setubal (Parque Natural da Arrabida & Praia do Creiro). There's still lots to do: meet the residents at Lisbon Oceanarium, get the lay of the land with Walking tours, don't miss a visit to Elevador de Santa Justa, and pause for some photo ops at Padrao dos Descobrimentos.

For where to stay, maps, photos, and tourist information, refer to the Lisbon trip planner.

If you are flying in from United Kingdom, the closest major aiport is Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). Expect a daytime high around 35°C in August, and nighttime lows around 20°C.
