Rest your head at the Hyatt Regency Lisbon. Located in the Alcântara neighborhood, this 5-star hotel is a short 15-minute drive from the Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon International Airport).

Details

Tip: Pick up your rental vehicle from Lisbon Airport. Rentals are cheap in Portugal and allow for ease of traveling from city to city. *We rented with SIXT. Due to the popularity, SIXT at the Lisbon airport is very busy. If you have the ability to split your party, send someone to wait for your bags at baggage claim and someone to grab a ticket to secure your place in line at SIXT.

Tip: Due to popularity and limitation on seating experiences, we highly recommend booking reservations well in advance for all of the restaurants mentioned in this guide. 

Tip: Love collecting points as much as we do? You do not need to exchange currency or carry cash for any of the experiences listed in this itinerary as all of them accept credit cards for payment.

Explore

Tip: Leave your rental at the hotel for the day. Lisbon is best discovered exploring on foot. If a destination is out of the way, we recommend Ubering as they are very cheap in most large cities in Portugal.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jen & Cody
Hey there, friends!! 👋 Welcome! I'm Jen, a passionate jet-setting foodie and culture enthusiast, and I'm here to make your travel planning experience a whole lot easier, hopefully putting a big smile on your face along the way! (My husband, Cody, makes appearances/recommendations here occasionally too!) As I embark on my own journey of leaving behind my management career and embracing a life of full-time exploration, I'm also learning the art of travel filmmaking and photography to capture the essence of each destination and inspire fellow adventurers like you. Diving deep into extensive research about a destination even before I set foot in it brings me immense joy. There's something truly magical about unraveling the hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path experiences that make a place truly remarkable. So, armed with months of planning and countless hours of online research, I've turned crafting unforgettable journeys into my absolute favorite pastime. Here's the thing, my philosophy is pretty straightforward: experiences are the most precious treasures in life. I genuinely believe in investing in extraordinary moments rather than material possessions. That's why I'm here to ensure that your trip is filled with unforgettable encounters, whether that means embracing high-end experiences or diving headfirst into unique adventures that'll leave you with stories to tell for years to come. Oh, and let's not forget about my undying love for good food and wine—I'm all about discovering culinary excellence around the world! 💡Just one more note, I swear: I'm all ears when it comes to feedback! If you have any suggestions or ideas on how I could improve, I would be immensely grateful. I'm a firm believer in investing in myself and embracing self-growth, so your input is invaluable to me.
