Travel
We are thrilled to have you join us for our wedding celebration! To ensure you have a seamless and enjoyable experience, here's some essential travel information and recommendations:
Arrival &
Departure
Arrival: We recommend arriving to Lisbon by Thursday morning to enjoy a welcome cocktail reception we have arranged for all our guests.
Departure: Feel free to organize your departure for Sunday, allowing you to fully partake in all the wedding festivities.
Where
to Stay
We suggest staying near Avenida Liberdade, Marquês de Pombal, Príncipe Real or Rossio for the best experience of the city. For your convenience, here are some top hotel recommendations:
- Pestana Palace Lisbon (Our Wedding Hotel)
- Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Hotel (Near Avenida Liberdade)
- Inspira Liberdade Boutique Hotel (Near Avenida Liberdade)
- Hyatt Regency Lisbon (Near Ajuda)
However, Lisbon has amazing properties and we strongly recommend that you have a look at Airbnb and Vrbo.
Restaurants
& Cocktail Bars
This is one of the aspects we enjoy the most about Lisbon: its fabulous restaurants! We are sure you will love Portuguese food as much as we do. Please find below some suggestions:
- Prado (modern Portuguese)
- Cervejaria Liberdade (seafood)
- Cervejaria Sem Palabras (seafood)
- Marisqueria Ramiro (seafood)
- Pinoquio (seafood)
- Bairro do Avillez (Portuguese)
- Solar dos Presuntos (Portuguese)
- Tapisco (tapas)
- 146 Bar (cocktails)
- Memmo Principe Real (rooftop restaurant)
- Sky Bar at Tivoli Lisboa (rooftop, cocktails)
- Park Rooftop (alternative rooftop, cocktails)
Getting
Around Lisbon
While Lisbon has a reliable tube system, we highly recommend using Uber or Bolt for getting around the city. It's not only cost-effective but also highly convenient for exploring Lisbon at your own pace.
If You Have
Extra Time…
If you are lucky to have a couple spare days, head to Óbidos, Nazaré, Ericeira, Troia and, of course, Alcobaça. Luis’ hometown (Alcobaça) has one of the most beautiful monasteries in the world, recognized by UNESCO in its World Heritage Site list.
All these places make for a wonderful one-day visit from Lisbon that we are sure you won’t regret.
