Planning a family holiday in Lisbon, Portugal? The city is one of the best spring destinations. At this time of year the weather is warm but not too hot, and the city is full of life without being too crowded. Here are a few places worth visiting, along with ideas for enjoying the streets and atmosphere of the city.
Spring destinations: Lisbon and what to see
For an unforgettable trip from Lisbon, head to the hill town of Sintra, about 40 minutes away by train. Its green landscape makes it one of the most popular spring destinations, with palaces and villas that feel romantic and slightly mysterious. Nearby beaches are good for a weekend by the sea. Compared with Rome or Paris, Lisbon feels compact and welcoming, with small shops, restaurants, museums, and beautiful squares where important collections are displayed. Did you know that Lisbon is one of Europe's oldest capitals?
Spring destination: music in Lisbon
Music is an integral part of Lisbon. In cafes, bars, and restaurants you can hear traditional fado, the soulful music associated with the city. One of the easiest ways to explore is by tram and train, following the routes that lead through the historic center. The 18th-century shops and streets of Baixa invite visitors to linger, while the Torre de Belem remains a symbol of the city and a favorite landmark.
