When to go

The best time to visit Lisbon is late spring, when the city is sun-drenched and the sardines are in season, freshened up to perfection by the nearby sparkling cold waters. That said, there really isn’t a bad time to visit Lisbon, due to its temperate climate and countless things to do, see and eat.

Getting there

  • Planes

    British Airways (www.britishairways.com) and TAP (www.flytap.com) both fly direct from London to Lisbon; TAP also operates direct flights from Newark in the US to the city.

  • Boats

    You can take ferries across to Seixal, Cacilhas, Montijo and Barreiro from close to the main plaza (Praca do Comércio). Exploring Lisbon by water is a great way to appreciate the city’s beauty.

  • Trains

    The Portuguese national train service is Comboios de Portugal (www.cp.pt). There are two main stations in Lisbon: Santa Apolónia and Gare do Oriente. The recently renovated Lisbon Metro (www.metrolisboa.pt) is useful if you want to visit some of the parks on the further reaches of the city. Be prepared for a few changes during your journey; it’s not the most user-friendly network around.

  • Automobiles

    One-way roads and tiny streets mean that driving in Lisbon is a somewhat hair-raising experience | further complicated by challenging parking. It’s best to avoid the stress and stick to taxis.

  • Taxis

    Lisbon has taxis in abundance and they are pretty good value; it’s unlikely you’ll spend more than €10 on a fare.
