A weekend getaway in Lisbon is such a perfect travel destination. Portugal’s hilly, coastal capital city, has so much to offer for food, culture, and a rich arts scene. Below, is my Lisbon travel itinerary.
TO STAY
I booked an Airbnb home and stayed in Campolide—a classic, elegant Portuguese home. My stay was comfortable in a local neighbourhood, 30 minutes away from the city centre.
TO EAT
Palácio dos Duques de Lafões ou do Grilo
The Grilo Palace, belonging to the Dukes of Lafões, was built in the years following the great earthquake of 1755. It was transformed and repurposed by an event and restaurant group. I was truly amazed by the artwork, interior, furniture and food, had a delightful lunchtime with my dad.
Address: Calçada do Duque de Lafões 1, 1950-207 Lisboa, Portugal
Javá Rooftop
Perfect rooftop bar for light bites, cocktails and sunset view.

A must-visit historical spot, a late Gothic Manueline-style monastery housing archaeology & maritime museums in its wings; where Pastel de nata was invented. Make sure to get some Pastel de nata at Pastéis de Belém after your visit.
