I have already mentioned in my previous posts that Lisbon grows at every minute and continues to be in the list of the most visited cities in Europe. In this respect, it’s definitely interesting to know what’s so special about it that millions of people choose exactly this city to spend their summertime.
Accommodation
The accommodation is high-class and diverse, so it suits everyone’s budget and taste. What you need to do is to choose the best and comfortable one that will make your vacation enjoyable and delightful. Lisbon is the city where you can find from luxurious and deluxe hotels to cheap hostels. If you are not going to spend much time in the hotel, I suggest not concentrating much on every minute thing. Instead, you can go for a simple and comfortable place to live for a while. There are also tourist villages in Lisbon, which are more for families and groups of people. This is a good option for people traveling with friends, too. If you are a nature lover, go for camping; your vacation will be different and you will be in the embrace of the nature, which is both healthy and lots of extreme and adventures.
Activities
Activities are various in Lisbon, hereby you will never get bored. Tours by boat are available and will give you breathtaking emotions. You will admire the scenic view of the city right from your boat. You can even rent a guide who will explain you in details each place you reach. Lisbon also offers a great opportunity to explore the city on your own; just rent a bicycle and go wherever you want and stay as long as you want. Another option is to visit the parks in Lisbon and take your children with you organizing a good picnic for family members.
If you want to learn the history of the city and get acquainted with its culture, visit Lisbon museums and galleries. Another option are the theaters, which you can visit in the evening. If you don’t know Portuguese, this might sound a nonsense, but sometimes it’s fun and also a memorable new experience.
Eating
Portugal’s cuisine bears the influence of French and Spanish cuisines but it’s unique and the cooks mix the traditional and international cuisine flavors and aromas to get something typically Portuguese. The wide range of restaurants sometimes makes people shock. Notably, many people say that even in Lisbon where the product prices are really higher than in other European cities you can fully eat paying 10 Euros. You just need to have a good Lisbon guide to take you to those places. There are small cafes offering various sandwiches and restaurants embellished with deluxe decorations and corresponding prices
Shopping
Shopping is what you will love most. You will manage to find clothes, shoes and accessories at affordable prices. Visit the endless shopping centers near Santa Justa town and spend an entire day there wandering from one center to another. Don’t forget to buy presents for friends; there are a lot of Portuguese items and decorations, as well as traditional clothes that will remind you of Portugal.
Lisbon is a city with developing culture, interesting places to visit, huge history full of battles and victories and hospitable people that make their city a heaven for many people. Visit it right this summer and enjoy it to the full.
