Lisbon 10 days

Lisbon in June offers a sun-drenched introduction to Portugal's vibrant capital, perfect for a ten-day exploration. This city captivates with its mosaic-tiled streets, melancholic Fado music echoing through ancient alleys, and panoramic views from its seven hills. Explore the historic Alfama district's labyrinthine charm, marvel at the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém, and soak in the youthful energy of Bairro Alto. June weather is ideal, warm and sunny, perfect for enjoying outdoor cafes and rooftop bars before the peak summer crowds arrive. Consider basing yourself in the Chiado neighborhood for its elegant shops and theaters, or in Alfama for an immersive historic experience. An insider truth: while many flock to the popular Pastéis de Belém, seek out smaller, local pastelarias for equally delicious and more authentic custard tarts at half the price.
