A beautiful coastal city renowned for great sightseeing and a great food scene, nothing ticks all boxes like a Lisbon weekend break.
Lisbon is one Europe’s top city break destinations, and after my recent visit I now know why! It has a beautiful old town, with pastel-coloured buildings with terracotta rooftops as far as the eye can see. Lisbon is very easy to navigate too, but if you don’t fancy walking it, there are fantastic old trams that will bring you around all the highlights.

The food scene is superb, and a visit to TimeOut Market is a must! I loved Lx Factory too, an eclectic mix of restaurants, bars and shops all in one great open space.
There is plenty to see in Lisbon itself, but if you want to travel, you can take the train to the coastal towns of Cascais or Estoril, or explore the UNESCO World Heritage City of Sintra, and it’s palaces, castles and museums.

TAP Air Portugal, Aer Lingus and Ryanair all fly to Lisbon from Dublin airport, so take advantage now and secure flights at a low price.
There are many flight options available so you can choose to fly out with one airline and home with another, depending on your preference of flight times. If you wish to stay longer or shorter, simply edit the dates on the links below.
I found a great deal staying in the 5-star Iberostar, a new luxury boutique hotel located near the Marques de Pombal in Lisbon. With an outdoor pool, wellness centre, spa and state-of-the-art fitness centre, it is not surprising that this hotel receives such excellent reviews on TripAdvisor.
Fly direct from Dublin on the 11th of February and enjoy a three-night stay over Valentines Weekend for just €283. The price I have selected is based on departing early morning with TAP and returning on the night flight with Ryanair, this will give you the maximum amount of time in Lisbon. – you will see cheaper airfares returning at 7 am.
