Why is Lisbon a perfect destination for a last minute vacation?

Wonders of Lisbon
Nowadays, the city is a beautiful place to visit if you’re looking for a fun, vibrant holiday with lots of activities, or if you’re just there for the beautiful landscapes and a restful vacation. The weather in Lisbon is very good with temperatures reaching to just below 30 degrees Celsius in the summer, and there is very little rainfall during the tourist season.

Even in the winter, temperatures don’t get too cold with temperatures rarely below nine degrees. There is greater rainfall, but not too much to ruin your holiday.

The locals in Lisbon are very friendly and the area is a great place for trying some of the traditional cuisine from the region. One great example of this is the 30 kiosks and restaurants that are available in the Time Out Mercado da Ribeira. This vibrant food market in Lisbon was created in 2010 and is one of the best places to sample multiple dishes and beverages from the rich culture.

The Voyage Prive travel expert's opinion on travel to Lisbon last minute

Lisbon is one of the best places to visit in Europe if you’re looking for a great family or romantic break where you can experience culture or just relax in the sun. The city is known for the very tasty Pastel de Belém, which was named by The Guardian as one of the tastiest foods in the world.

At the same time, the city of Lisbon is one of the best places for cultural exploration, thanks to the many diverse groups of people who have occupied the area over the last two thousand years. As such, there is a Museum District that is occupied by some of the best museums in the area. Included in this collection is the Casa das Histórias, which houses two temporary exhibitions per year, but does have some permanent displays of Rego, a well-known Portuguese artist.

If you’re looking for something a little more relaxing, then you won’t be disappointed either. The area is full of some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Each one is complete with excellent facilities to make a day at the beach enjoyable, comfortable and memorable.

Top 5 things to do/see in Lisbon

From there you can find a boardwalk that offers some of the best views in the whole of Portugal. The walk will take to you Cascais and takes about twenty five minutes to complete. During your journey, you will experience the sun, views and breeze to their fullest. If you continue further, you’ll also reach Cape Roca, the most western part of mainland Europe.

2. Admire the Calçada

Many pavements have original and different patterns that can be intriguing to look at. However, these pavements are not easy to walk on so may be difficult for less mobile travellers.

The interior of the hotel is superb. The magnificent SPA (swimming pool with jets, sauna, steam room). We are entitled to 1 SPA entry. Otherwise it's 12 € / person. The rooms are modern, quiet hotel. RAS. As for the restaurant, we had a lunch seafood, seafood, drinks included at a price of 25 €. Nothing to say. It's lighter in the evening, but the prices are adapted according to the themes. The hotel is 30m from the metro which serves the key points of Lisbon. Note that one can move electric scooters everywhere in Lisbon. It is an incredible happiness and flexibility. Just download the app, and then unlock the scooter of our choice. It's everywhere.

Located in the center of Lisbon, we are close to everything. The nearest metro is 100m from the hotel. The airport is 25 minutes by metro or 15 minutes by car. The Hotel has underground parking and there are also a large number of external spaces around the hotel. The breakfast is generous and tasty. Add to this a very friendly staff. Nosu did not have a meal at the hotel and this point cannot be assessed ... We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay at this establishment.

Hotel located near a metro station which facilitates travel. Quite spacious rooms. The advantage of a private trip is to have benefited from the spa, to have a bottle of water and a drink at the bar. The roof of the hotel with bar and swimming pool is a real bonus. In a street opposite there is a very good restaurant, the O Funil allows you to dine well without going too far. Very good value for money where we were able to enjoy the summer of Saint Martin in the beautiful city of Lisbon.
