LIVING THE LUSH LIFE IN LISBON
With creamy pastel walls, sunset-hued terracotta rooftops, and centuries-old cobblestone streets, “The City of Seven Hills” on the sparkling Rio Trejo is one of Europe’s most charismatic cities. Bursting with vintage appeal and old-world charm, Lisbon’s crowd of artists, chefs, and bartenders create an electrifying atmosphere sure to steal your heart.
With golden rooftops reflecting the color of the changing leaves, Lisbon sparkles in the Fall. The weather is mild, the tourists are gone, and the rooftop parties are still in full swing, making it the perfect time of year to visit Portugal’s coast. Lisbon will enchant you in the Autumn with its effortless beauty and vibrant aura.
You’ll wander a labyrinthe of photogenic cobblestone streets with quirky cafes, independent bookstores, and eye catching boutiques around every corner. Fall in love with a faduista gently strumming a Portuguese 12-string guitar, sip buttery-sweet port in a cozy tavern, and watch the city blush with a rosy sunset.

Counting the cobblestones
There’s heaps going on in Lisbon, so you’re going to want to hit the cobblestone streets as soon as you arrive and do some sightseeing. Find a beautiful vantage point from the top of a monastery or gothic cathedral to get a bird’s eye view of the city, or sit back with some buttery port and people watch. We’ll all get together for our welcome party at one of Lisbon’s hottest rooftop bars.
Saturday
Street Art, Museums and a Cozy pub
After a night out, you’ll fuel up with a delicious hearty brunch before heading out in the lovely city again. With intricate street art and hand painted tiles everywhere, Lisbon is bursting with colorful art, and we’ll check out some famous pieces as well as some of the city’s rich history in Lisbon’s awesome museums. You’ll be free to spend the evening exploring the cozy pubs and trendy bars in the city’s heart.
Sunday
SIGHTS In sintra
You might be en route home Sunday, but you might not want to miss our excursion to Sintra, a beautiful stonewalled village a breath away from Lisbon. We’ll step back in time to Sintra’s medieval history with views of palaces, beautiful earthy monasteries, and leaf-covered forest floors. Live your best fairytale life wandering Sintra’s mythical hillsides and stopping over in folksy taverns. Get ready to soak in the sun and sangria in Barcelona!
