Our Favorite Things To Do In/Around Lisbon

Praca do Comercio

Waterside public plaza lined with outdoor cafes and shops.

Avenida da Liberdade

Major avenue in central Lisbon known for its luxury shops, hotels, and restaurants.

Tram 28

The famous yellow tram that takes riders through historic neighborhoods like Alfama, Baixa, and Graca. The 40-minute, hop-on hop-off ride includes stops at historical sites like the castle and cathedral.

Sports

March is the heat of fútbol season and Sporting CP and Benfica, two of the most successful Portuguese clubs, play just down the road from each other in Lisbon. If making the trip to Porto, FC Porto is another successful club in the Primeira Liga.

Make a trip out of it

Nazaré

Known for its big waves and is a popular destination for surfing, it is also one of Portugal’s most famous fishing villages. Experience the fresh catch at one of Nazaré’s waterside restaurants.

Peniche

Another great port-town on the coast with fresh seafood and beach access. For those interested in getting in the water, surfing is an option in this 16th century village.

Óbidos

A beautifully preserved medieval walled town, Óbidos is well worth the visit. Check out the many shops, restaurants, and locally crafted goods.

Golf

Portugal is home to many resort style golf courses, which Michael has enjoyed during his time visiting Debi and Eddie. Eddie is a member of the courses below, all of which are based in the Praia D’El Rey resort. If you are interested in playing with other guests in the lead up to the wedding, please reach out to Michael or Eddie to arrange a spot.
