Good to know

Sprawled across seven dramatic hills overlooking the Atlantic Tagus estuary, Lisbon is bathed in an extraordinary luminous quality that painters and poets have celebrated for centuries. The prime months to explore are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to October), when warm sunshine and mild Atlantic breezes make ascending the steep cobbled alleys of Alfama and visiting Jeronimos Monastery in Belem effortless. Summer (June to August) is high energy with the lively Festa de Santo Antnio street parties filling the city with the aroma of grilled sardines, though afternoons can be hot. Winter (November to February) remains one of the warmest in continental Europe, offering crisp sunny days, warm pastel de nata pastries, and authentic evening Fado music in historic taverns.
