Lisbon is a wonderful city to spend your honeymoon. It\u2019s one of Europe\u2019s hottest destinations right now, in terms of popularity as well as climate! You have truly beautiful architecture, buzzing nightlife, delicious cuisine and a romantic atmosphere especially at sunset, which can be admired from various miradores atop Lisbon\u2019s seven hills.<\/p>\n

One of our Tinggly team spend a year living in Lisbon, and still goes back regularly. So here\u2019s an insider\u2019s guide on what you should do on your Lisbon honeymoon, and what you should avoid:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The Portuguese capital gets hot in the summer, seriously hot.<\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019re looking at a summer honeymoon in Lisbon, then you should aim to avoid doing too much in the middle of the day. Get an early start on your sightseeing, beating the crowds, then by midday head to areas that are cool and shaded to relax for a few hours. Lisbon has plenty of attractive parks with big trees where you can sit for a while. The areas around the river, such as Belem, are cooler, and if you want to go to the beach, there are several good stretches of sand on the other side of the river.<\/p>\n

    \"\"

  2. \n

    You don\u2019t need to do the same things as everybody else.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A good example are the always popular day-trips to Sintra and Cascais. Both destinations get very, very crowded and so if you don\u2019t want to be packed in like sardines, then think about alternatives. Hire a car to explore scenic fishing villages west of Sintra, Take a boat trip out to the Berlengas<\/a>. Instead of the beach, wander the botanic gardens in the city centre.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      While we\u2019re on the subject of beaches,<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      the locals head over the Ponte 25 de Abril on hot days where there are several long strips of sand. Some are always packed with sunseekers – these are the beaches where people go just to be seen in the \u2018cool place\u2019. Bizarrely, there are neighbouring beaches that look exactly the same and have identical views, but just don\u2019t have that cachet – they will also have about 100x more space. Don\u2019t miss the garlicky clams at the beach cafes – worth skipping breakfast for.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        One of many reasons to recommend Lisbon is the amazing cafe culture and dining scene.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        There are so many trendy neighbourhood bars and restaurant springing up everywhere that it is always worth avoiding the more touristy areas and seeking out locally owned places instead. Great places to try include Campo de Ourique, where the pavements are lined with innovative eating establishments which will provide a far more romantic ambience for couples than a place where the menu comes in 10 languages.\"\"

        Anyone that knows Lisbon well knows that every neighbourhood has its own distinct atmosphere. A ride on one of the old traditional trams is mandatory during your honeymoon, but bring good walking footwear and a hat, because the best way to see Lisbon is always on foot.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Lisbon also has a very cool nightlife scene, which doesn\u2019t really get going until well after midnight.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Because the city is built on a series of hills, there are lots of fantastic rooftop bars in Lisbon where you can bask in stunning views. We recommend arriving before sunset, to watch as Lisbon glows pink. It\u2019s still possible to catch a traditional fado show, especially around Alfama, Lisbon\u2019s oldest neighbourhood. But given how this melancholic music has become gentrified like so much else, it\u2019s always best to ask a local where to find an authentic atmosphere.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Come prepared to eat and shop.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            You\u2019re on honeymoon now, so if you had a strict wedding diet it can go out the window. Fresh seafood such as the traditional bachalo, sugary churros, caipirinhas, the past\u00e9is de nata of Belem<\/a> – these may be the staples of Lisbon cuisine, but the dining scene here is extremely innovative. And Lisbon has so many trendy boutiques that you may want to bring an extra, empty suitcase on your honeymoon. We think that if you\u2019re after traditional arts and crafts the best option is to take the tram up to the castle, then walk slowly down through the Castelo and Alfama neighbourhoods, to Chiado.<\/p>\n
