Lisbon holidays

A capital with city and sand

Blend beach and city breaks with ease on holidays to Lisbon – see cultural highlights, dine at great restaurants and find some of the hippest nightspots in Europe. Combine a year-round climate with a fascinating history and picturesque neighbourhoods.

Lisbon has everything you’d expect from a major city and more, because it has some fantastic beaches too. Pastel-coloured baroque palaces and grandiose squares compete with labyrinthine alleys, full of quirky restaurants and hidden bars. Go bargain hunting at open-air flea markets or buy haute-couture from boutiques, before a glass of delicious vinho verde, a local wine. The varied and vibrant nightlife on offer is renowned, as is the soulful fado music. So why not book a flight to Lisbon, enjoy the city, and then hire a car to check out the surrounding areas? It’s a city to return to time and time again.
