Lisbon in autumn, the perfect travel plan
The city of seven hills is crowned by the Castle of São Jorge, which offers unique panoramic views. The Castelo de São Jorge and the Alfama district show us the most traditional side of the Portuguese capital, with its colorful houses lined with clothes, its labyrinth of narrow streets, and its vibrant street life. A true journey into the past.
Another essential stop is Baixa, the most central neighborhood, with emblematic squares, such as the enormous Rossio Square, the Rua Augusta arch, and the entrance to Praça do Comércio, the largest and most important square in Lisbon.
Don't leave Lisbon in the fall without visiting the Monastery of St. Jerome, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the Belém neighborhood. It's also home to the Coleçao Berardo Museum, which boasts one of the finest collections of contemporary art, crowned by Warhol's Pop Art and Pablo Picasso's Cubism.
And yes, Lisbon in autumn, like other seasons, also exudes modernity. To experience this, visit Marqués de Pombal, Rato, and Saldanha, home to the best restaurants, boutiques, and concert halls. These neighborhoods, with manicured gardens and art galleries, exude culture and avant-garde from every angle.
Chiado is another neighborhood where you'll also find shops and galleries, all with a more bohemian feel.
And to lose yourself in Lisbon's nightlife, visit the Bairro Alto, with its multitude of bars and restaurants open until late. Don't miss the Lisbon calendar , so you can see what events are happening in the city during your visit.
To relax after exploring Lisbon's charms in the fall, you're sure to be looking for hotels in the center of the Portuguese capital.
