Lisbon is very lucky to have the warmest winters in Europe; but not the disadvantage of suffering from intense summer heat. The sub-tropic coastal climate is prone to sudden bursts of rain even on its clearest days, so be warned.... We at Private Tour recommend going in late spring or early autumn as hotel prices are lower and the amount of tourists are manageable.
Hostels and Hotels are unusually affordable considering the high standards here, and bargains are usually easy to find outside of the busiest summer months. Most of the attractions are free or cheap and don’t forget about the famous Tram 28 that trundles through all of the exciting tourist neighbourhoods in one loop as you get to ride along with locals for a standard tram fare. Drinks and food are reasonably priced are bargains are great.
Before you travel to the Lisbon, make sure you do all your research. If you are using a private tour company, they will organise accommodation which is a lot easier and less stressful than having to do it yourself. You can drink the water Lisbon it is safe just does not taste as good as bottled water. Only eat in places that look hygienic and clean to be on the safe side. It is always better to safe than sorry!
The island of Lisbon has sunny weather for the most of the year. The hottest months are during the summer months July to September and temperatures are averaging 20 degrees Celsius. The two months preceding and after those months are cooler but still sunny a warm just a little chilly at nice which is a welcome relief.
