ROMANTIC TOUR OF LISBON

From the heart of Lisbon to its parallels and crossroads, discover the vibrant traditional neighbourhoods and the bohemian spirit that has enchanted generations. Through the winding streets of Bairro Alto, you can lose yourself as a couple in historic Alfama, feel the origins of Lisbon in the alleys of Mouraria or enjoy the sunset from the belvederes (but for that moment, we also have more suggestions below). Feel the essence of the city of seven hills.

KISSING AT THE VIEWPOINT

Celebrate romance and intimacy at Lisbon's most spectacular viewpoints. They are the city's most beautiful postcards and the meeting point for lovers, offering a unique view of the city's emblematic hills and monuments. Some of the best places for a special kiss include Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, Miradouro das Portas do Sol, Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, Miradouro do Parque Eduardo VII and the iconic Miradouro da Graça. The perfect places for a panoramic break or to eternalise special moments. And don't forget to visit them at night, with the charm of the city lights.

DISCOVER THE PROVOCATIVE SIDE OF THE CITY

Lisbon has a daring and sensual side ready to be discovered and to inspire couples to explore their intimacy and their own more provocative profile. A good starting point for this adventure could be a visit to the Erotic Museum, where you'll learn about the legacy of sensuality and eroticism with exhibitions that unveil secrets, break down preconceptions, pique curiosity and awaken the senses. The experience could end with an aphrodisiac dinner, where the sensations will rekindle passion.

ENJOYING THE SUNSET

There's no light like Lisbon's, but it's at sunset that it reaches its peak. Warm colours tint the sky in a unique experience that can be shared as a couple - in a magical and romantic moment - or among friends, celebrating friendship and the beginning of new stages. A natural spectacle that should be watched from the front row at iconic locations such as Ribeira das Naus, Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, Miradouro das Portas do Sol or Terreiro do Paço, by the river.

DINNER IN A FADO HOUSE

Perhaps the traditional side of Lisbon can only be heard now. It's in the intimate atmospheres of authentic Fado Houses that we can connect with the emotion of fado, between melancholy chords and passionate voices. Longing and passion are an unbreakable bond, sometimes in the strings that give sound to the guitar, sometimes in those that give sound to the voice. Pair it with a menu of local delicacies and the night in Old Lisbon is assured.

TOASTING THE BEGINNING OF THE NIGHT

Let yourself be enveloped by Lisbon's nightlife, whether as a couple in a playful and romantic moment or among friends in a celebration without limits. The city's bohemian spirit awakens when the sun goes down and the streets and bars come alive. For a lively night out with personality, the charismatic and urban atmosphere of the LX Factory is infallible, but it's also worth exploring iconic neighbourhoods such as Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré, where everything pulses with music and a variety of bars. Feel Lisbon's nocturnal energy.
