Summer in Lisbon: Sun, Culture, and Chic Stays ☀️🇵🇹

There’s something irresistibly golden about Lisbon in summer—the way the late afternoon light washes over the pastel facades, the hum of fado echoing from tucked-away taverns, and the scent of grilled sardines and sea air filling the breeze. This is a city that blends old-world charm with contemporary cool, and summer is the perfect season to dive into everything it has to offer.

🌞 What to Do in Lisbon This Summer

1. Stroll Through Alfama & Graça
Wander Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods where every cobbled alley and tiled facade tells a story. In summer, the streets come alive with local festas, music, and outdoor dining. Don’t miss the iconic Tram 28 winding its way up the steep hills.

2. Soak Up the Sun at the Beaches Nearby
Just 30 minutes from the city, find yourself on the beaches of Cascais, Costa da Caparica, or the wilder stretches of Praia do Guincho. The Atlantic breeze is a welcome break from the city heat.

3. Discover Lisbon by Water
Hop on a sunset sail along the Tagus River or take the ferry across to Cacilhas for fresh seafood and incredible skyline views back toward Lisbon.

4. Visit the Museums & Monasteries
Step inside the cool walls of the MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology) or explore the Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site that glows in the summer light.

5. Eat, Sip, Repeat
Summer is the best time to enjoy Lisbon’s outdoor dining scene. Grab a seat on a rooftop like Topo or Sky Bar Oriente, order a glass of vinho verde, and pair it with fresh grilled octopus, bacalhau, or a pastel de nata still warm from the oven.

🏨 Where I Stay: Four Seasons Ritz Lisbon

When in Lisbon, I always return to the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon—a city icon that exudes classic elegance with a modern twist. Set on a hilltop with sweeping views over Eduardo VII Park and the Tagus River, it’s both a peaceful retreat and the perfect base to explore from.

• Spacious rooms with private balconies and exquisite mid-century furnishings

• A rooftop running track with panoramic views of the city skyline

• One of the best hotel breakfasts in Europe—the pasteis de nata alone are worth the stay

• A serene spa and indoor pool, ideal for cooling off after a warm day of exploring

• Attentive, discreet, and personalized service that always feels like home

✨ Why Lisbon in Summer?

Because this city lives outside—on the patios, in the squares, along the miradouros. It's a place where time slows, where each golden hour feels like a celebration, and where history and modernity dance in harmony. Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, Lisbon in summer always has something new to offer.
