Lisbon

Hills, tiles, cheap wine and a beach 30 minutes out.

Travellers come here for nightlife, food, culture and meeting people.

When to go

Aim for May, June and July. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

Getting there

The airport is LIS. Lisbon is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.

Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $383, 2 stops. Found 46 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
