À propos de Lisbon
Lisbon is Europe's most sun-drenched capital — a compact seven-hill city on the Tagus estuary, laced with historic trams, azulejo-tiled façades, hilltop miradouros and Manueline landmarks in Belém. Add fado nightlife in Alfama, Time Out Market food halls in Cais do Sodré, and 30-minute rail trips to Sintra's palaces and Cascais beaches, and it's one of Europe's best-value city breaks.

FAQ voyage — Lisbon
Do I need a visa for Lisbon?
Portugal is in the Schengen Area. Many nationalities enter visa-free for up to 90 days per 180; ETIAS pre-authorisation applies for visa-exempt visitors once launched. Others require a Schengen short-stay visa.
How do I get from LIS airport to central Lisbon?
Metro red line to Alameda/Saldanha runs in ~20 min for €1.85. Aerobus to Baixa is €4 (~30 min). Taxi/Uber is €15–20 to most central hotels — Lisbon's airport is only 7 km from downtown.
Is Tram 28 worth it?
Yes for the route (Graça → Alfama → Baixa → Estrela) but avoid the daytime rush when carriages are crammed and pickpocketing is common. Ride early morning (~07:30) or take the near-identical Tram 12 for a quieter experience.
How do I do Sintra as a day trip?
Take the CP suburban train from Rossio (40 min, €2.30). Book Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira timed tickets online in peak season. Combine with Cabo da Roca (Europe's westernmost point) and Cascais on the way back.
How many days do I need in Lisbon?
Three full days cover Alfama, Baixa/Chiado and Belém. Four to five let you add Sintra, Cascais and Évora. A week supports a Porto/Douro Valley add-on by high-speed rail.
Is Lisbon family-friendly?
Yes — Oceanário de Lisboa (one of Europe's best), Tram 28, castle exploration, pastel-de-nata tastings and Sintra's fairy-tale palaces engage children easily. Cobblestones are tough on strollers — use carriers on steep streets.
What's the best area for a luxury stay?
Avenida da Liberdade and Chiado — Four Seasons Ritz Lisbon, Tivoli Avenida, Bairro Alto Hotel, The One Palácio da Anunciada, Palácio Belmonte and Torel Palace deliver hillside heritage luxury.
Is Lisbon safe for tourists?
Yes — one of Europe's safest capitals with very low violent crime. Watch pickpockets on Tram 28, at the Elevador de Santa Justa queue and around Rossio at night. Drug touts in Baixa offer fake hashish; a polite refusal is enough.
