I wish, I would have known that before visiting Lisbon👇

💵 MONEY
In Lisbon you pay with Euros. I recommend you to carry some cash with you, cause sometimes you can’t pay by card. There are ATMs everywhere in the city.

✈️ AIRPORT TRANSPORT
The Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon is seven kilometers north of the city center. The easiest and cheapest way to the city is by Metro. But there is also a Aerobus shuttle, a municipal bus (Carris), taxi or Uber to the center.

⏰ TIME
Keep in mind that Portugal has a different time zone then Central Europe (minus one hour). In Lisbon is the Western European Time (WET).

🚇 TRANSPORT
Lisbon has a good working public transport with metro, tram and bus. Sometimes you will need some time or walking to your destination. In Lisbon Uber is pretty cheap and you can safe a lot of time with that.

💬 LANGUAGE
The locals all speak Portuguese and most of them understand English without any problems.

🧳 BEST TIME TO VISIT
Lisbon is a year-around destination. So you can travel to this beautiful city everyone. I can recommend you to come to Lisbon in spring. The temperature is pleasant warm, the city is in bloom and there are not so many tourists.

🚶‍♀️WALKING TOUR
Take part in a walking tour. You'll get to know Lisbon very quickly and very well. Many tours are free, but the guides are happy to receive a few tips.

❌ SKIP THE ELEVATOR DE SANTA JUSTA
The elevator is kind of a touristic trap. You need to pay 5 euros for a 20 second ride up the hill. Additional the queue is insanely long so you have to wait for hours. You can reach the viewing platform on foot. If you want to take the lift, buy a day ticket for the metro. The lift is included.

1️⃣ Enjoy the ocean views.
Walk around the trails by the viewing platform to enjoy different perspectives
2️⃣ Explore the beaches around.
I recommend you Praia do Louriçal and Praia da Ursa. Both beaches can be reached by foot, but the hike is a bit challenging.

More private spots for sunset you find on the top of the cliffs behind the lighthouse.
4️⃣ Take a hike in Sintra Natural Park.
You could walk to Sintra and take the bus back to Cabo da Roca

You shouldn’t miss to stop at the stone monument. Read the poem by the Portuguese writer Camões and take a photo.

📜 BUY A SOUVENIR
You can buy a certificate stating that you where at the most western point in Europe for 11 € at the tourist office.

It can be crowded at Cabo da Roca. The best time to visit is early in the morning or late in the evening.

🌬️ WIND
It can be super windy at Cabo da Roca. Bring some warm clothes with you and don’t stand to close to the edge.

🧭 DAY TRIP
I recommend you to combine a day trip to Cabo da Roca with a trip to Sintra or Cascais. Cascais is a little seaside town and Sintra is know best for its palaces.
