Buying Property In Lisbon

Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon offers a unique blend of city living and traditional Portugal. A historic city with plenty of stories to tell and things to discover, you will never be short of things to do or see in Lisbon. The city is also famed for its seafood dishes such as Bacalhau (salted cod) and excellent local wines; visitors genuinely are spoilt for choice when it comes to places for eating and drinking in Lisbon.

How to Get There?

The flight time from London to Lisbon International Airport takes two and a half hours. The airport is located just 7 Km from the very centre of the city and has excellent transport links, so getting from the airport to the inner city is no issue. If you choose to drive to Portugal, the best ways to enter Lisbon are via the A1 and A2, which both have national and international connections along their course.

Climate

The climate in Lisbon in the winter season is mild and sometimes rainy but warm and dry in the summer. There are on average 9 hours of sunshine per day in the summer and the capital tends to stay sunny all year round. For fans of sport, adventure and basking in the sun’s warmth, Lisbon is perfect. If the sun ever gets too much, there are plenty of cafes, bars and other spots to cool off in the shade.

Be Sure Not to Miss
