Lisbon
Pastel facades, rattling yellow trams, and miradouros that catch the Atlantic light, Lisbon rewards slow wandering. The food scene punches well above its price tag, and the surf coast is a 30-minute train ride away.
Best time to visit
March–May and September–October, warm days, smaller crowds, and lower flight prices than peak summer.
Rough cost
Mid-range: roughly $90–140/day including a centrally located guesthouse, café meals, and public transport.
