Lisbon Experiences

Overview

A patchwork of dusty terracotta-tiled roofs, scattered elegantly over seven hills that offer unique, breathtaking views over the Tagus estuary and the city that climbs and crawls towards each summit, Lisbon is a city ripe for exploration.

Wander the mazes of cobbled alleyways, the winding, creeping staircases past postcard-perfect pastel houses with washing lines spanning the shaded lanes in the warm, heavy air, as cats snooze in mossy corners and go padding away through narrow nooks and crannies.

Stumble upon Gothic towers and gleaming white cathedrals as trams go rattling by through the narrow lanes and the solemn melodies of fado float from secret courtyards and the smells of grilled sardines and freshly baked Pastel de Natas rise in the breeze.

As night falls and the city lights up in its magical orange glow, settle into a cosy tavern filled with chatter, or head to Bairro Alto for a raucous night in the heaving alleyways as the city is transformed from sleepy to vibrant in the blink of an eye.

    Best Time to Visit Lisbon

    General

    The high season (June-August) serves up stunningly bright days and the best weather for the beach, for festivals and dining on picturesque patios and terraces, although it can get a little hot for exploring.

    For the best weather when it comes to climbing the many staircases and hilly slopes, try visiting in the spring (March-May).

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.
