Holiday In Lisbon

Are you looking to get away? Maybe to Europe? How about to Lisbon? It’s in Portugal and it’s perfect for you.

We can hear it calling your name from here. Come drink the delicious wine. Hang out in medieval strongholds (they’re all over the city!). Dance the night away in one of the many happening districts. Check out lastminute.com.au’s sweet offers on Lisbon holidays and start learning Portuguese.

Things to Do in Lisbon

Please, make yourself at home in the A Cidade das Sete Colinas (The City of Seven Hills). Before you do that though, get ahold of four tires and a steering wheel from lastminute.com.au’s Lisbon car hire deals. Head over to the Belem Tower, a fortified belfry from the 15th century. Many voyages of discovery were launched from this location, as were many cannonballs. The latter were directed at those pesky French mariners who were constantly trying to come into the harbour uninvited.

After you’ve done your defensive duty during your Lisbon holiday, check out the Lisbon Oceanarium in the Parque das Nacoes. Take a guided tour under the sea to get familiar with penguins, sea otters and something called a sunfish. It looks nothing like the sun, but who cares? By the way, there’s a thing called Sleeping with Sharks, where you can roll out your sleeping bag next to the shark tank. Nothing a toothy predator reading bedtime stories to you.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

When you think of international shopping, the first cities to pop into your head are probably Paris, London and Milan. And no one can blame you for that. But wait until you experience shopping in Lisbon! Go to the Baixa district in the city centre and prowl the high-end retail stores along its streets. You’ll look like you’re walking the runway instead of the sidewalk.

We hope you’re hungry after shopping because taking a holiday in Lisbon means you’re going to be surrounded by good food. The Alfama district, the oldest district in the city, is where you should go when your appetite comes a-knocking. Sit down at one of the restaurants for plates of mariscos, feijoada a transmontana and pasteis de nata for dessert. If you thought all that was good, wait until you drink the wine. It’s like soft velvet sliding down your gullet.

Get a hotel in this area with one of our Lisbon packages because there’s all sorts of action here. Especially at night. This place is the centre of the capital’s nightlife, with bars catering to heavy metal, rootsy reggae and everything in between. There’s nothing starting the evening with Metallica and then winding it down with a little Marley.
