Take a citytrip to Lisbon

Discover the city

By wandering around the city, I always find out the best addresses, which I love to share with you!

Lisbon may be high on your wish list if you are looking for a versatile city break. This is thanks to its diversity of neighbourhoods - from authentic to hip and modern -, the beautiful cultural sights in the old town and its many parks. But also because Lisbon is a perfect city for shopping and you can catch your breath on one of its surrounding beaches. For example in the seaside resort of Cascais, a charming old fishing village. Of course, the delicious Portuguese food and drink is also a major draw. Our tip: try a portion of grilled sardines from May to August, because only then are they really fresh.
