What to pack for Lisbon
Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.
Most short-stay travellers from the US, Australia, and Europe don’t need a visa for Lisbon—Schengen rules apply. For longer stays or non-Schengen passports, check your government’s travel advisories or Portugal’s official immigration site.
Spring (March–May) and fall (September–October) offer warm, pleasant weather and ideal conditions for exploring on foot. Summer can be very hot, while winter stays mild with occasional rain.
Lisbon enjoys a Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. Temperatures range from low 10s °C (50s °F) in winter to mid-30s °C (90s °F) in peak summer.
Portugal uses the Euro (€). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, though it's helpful to carry some cash for markets or small cafés.
Lisbon uses the Type C and F plugs (European style, 230 V). Bring a compact European adaptor—ideally with surge protection to safely charge your devices.
Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. For sit-down meals, a 5–10 % tip is polite. Round up taxi fares and hotel service charges as needed; hostels or casual vendors don’t require a tip.
ATMs are readily available across the city and support international cards. Opt for ATMs inside banks when possible and watch for low withdrawal limits on imported cards.
Wi‑Fi is widely available in hotels, restaurants, and many public squares. For full coverage during your travel to Lisbon, consider a local e-SIM or portable Wi‑Fi.
Yes! Tap water in Lisbon is safe and tastes great. Many locals and cafés happily serve it free. Just ask for “água da torneira” (tap water).
3 to 4 days allows you to explore the main neighbourhoods—Alfama, Baixa, Belém—and enjoy a day trip. For deeper cultural immersion or a coastal excursion, aim for 5 to 7 days.
We highly recommend guests purchase travel insurance prior to your trip. Please ensure you add the details of your insurance to the MyTrafalgar portal. Your insurance should cover trip interruption, personal injury, medical expenses, and evacuation and repatriation cover including during pandemic events.
