The Lisbon Region encompasses Portugal's vibrant capital and its stunning surrounds — from the UNESCO-listed palaces of Sintra and the Atlantic beaches of Cascais to the medieval hilltop town of Óbidos and the turquoise lagoons of Setúbal. Lisbon itself is one of Europe's oldest and most beautiful capital cities, draped across seven hills above the broad Tagus estuary, with a skyline of terracotta rooftops, Moorish castles, and gilded Manueline architecture.

Money-saving tips
Practical ways to stretch your budget further.
Travel in shoulder season — fewer crowds and significantly lower accommodation rates.
Use public transport instead of taxis where possible. Day passes often pay for themselves after 3 trips.
Eat where locals eat — markets and neighbourhood eateries offer better food at a fraction of tourist-strip prices.
Book accommodation with kitchen access for longer stays so you can self-cater some meals.
