I've Lived in Lisbon for 4 Years-Here's My No. 1 Travel Tip for Visiting Portugal (and It's Free)

"But when people visit and ask me for advice on what to see, do, and eat, I'm more than happy to share my personal recommendations (seriously, slide me a DM, and I'll share my private Google doc with you). There is, however, one travel tip I think everyone plotting a vacation here needs to know. And that is you should never-ever-skip a sunset."

""Few cities capture the magic of a summer evening quite like Lisbon. As the sun begins to set, Lisbon transforms under a unique light, painting the sky in shades of pink, orange, and lilac," Turisomo Lisboa shared in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure. "From riverbanks to rooftops, and from historic gardens to modern marinas, Lisbon offers an array of stunning vantage points to experience this daily spectacle.""

Portugal combines rich history, culture, and outstanding cuisine with especially memorable sunsets across diverse landscapes and wide ocean views. Low air pollution and northern winds produce bright blue skies and vivid evening colors. Lisbon showcases exceptional sunset vantage points including riverbanks, rooftops, historic gardens, and modern marinas, and features miradouros—designated viewpoints often accompanied by small kiosks selling drinks. Favorite local spots include Miradouro do Jardim do Torel and the riverside Ribeira das Naus between Cais do Sodré and Praça do Comércio. Sunset hour slows the city, drawing people to pause and enjoy the spectacle.
