Overview
WHEN TO GO
Though it's very far south, Lisbon's Atlantic breezes keep it generally a little cooler than other cities on the same latitude. June is probably the best summer month to visit, especially since the saints' festivals fall then. Spring and fall are very pleasant, warm, and sunny. Winter tends to stay warm too, but the rain can be relentless.
HOW TO GET THERE
Lisbon's airport, Portela, is ten minutes from the city center (351-218-413-500; www.ana-aeroportos.pt). SATA Internacional airline flies direct from Boston, and TAP airline from New York (Newark). Taxis from the airport to the city cost around $10, though to avoid possible rogue drivers, it's worth using the voucher system. The Turisma de Lisboa booth in Arrivals sells prepaid vouchers for a little more than you'd pay on a meter, but they include tip and baggage surcharge. Alternatively, a shuttle bus to Cais do Sodré and Praça do Comércio runs every 20 minutes.
