You really can’t go wrong with a visit to Portugal’s capital – and with average highs of 23°C in October and 18°C in November, this coastal city has everything you need for a summer getaway in autumn.
Ample bars and restaurants? Check. A buzzing nightlife? Double check. A plethora of sandy beaches? Triple check. The list truly goes on.
Head to the Praia de Carcavalos beach which is a 30-minute train ride from central Lisbon for some beach fun or potter around Feira da Ladra flea market for some fabulous bargains, from books to jewellery.
And when it comes to restaurants, Lisbon is filled with viable options. Book a reservation at Loco, the haute cuisine restaurant headed by chef Alexandre Silva and enjoy dishes inspired by Portuguese flavours.
If you’re looking for a rooftop bar, head over to Limão Chill-Out Terrace at the top of the lovely H10 Duque de Loulé Hotel. Enjoy their classic cocktails while checking out the fantastic panoramic view over Lisbon city and the Tagus.
With autumn officially upon us, getting that little bit of sunshine where we can is key – and hopefully, these destinations serve as the inspo you need to get that flight and take that much-needed trip over the next couple months.
