LISBON (downtown, capital city of Portugal, 25 min from venue)

The majority of people will want to stay in Lisbon. Lisbon is only a 25 minute drive from the venue, so most people will likely stay in Lisbon for the week.

The most recommended places to stay are: CHIADO, BAIXA, OR PRINCIPE REAL as they are conveniently located to everything (marked by lodging(bed) symbol on map)

AVENIDA DA LIBERDADE- good street with lots of food options. If you decide to stay in a hotel instead of airbnb, check Expedia or Priceline as they may be better than our promo codes depending on when you book.

Estoril hotels are for the night before or after the wedding as an option for people who want to stay closer to the venue.

CAISCAS/ESTORIL - good for families and near the venue (25 minutes away from Lisbon; Hotel options in Estoril -PALÁCIO DO ESTORIL, INTERCONTINENTAL ESTORIL, EVOLUTION CASCAIS- ESTORIL, HOTEL INGLATERRA, HOTEL LONDRES ESTORIL, VILA GALÉ CASCAIS, HOTEL BAÍA CASCAIS (Promo codes for a few of these hotels below)

Additional Travel Tips:

- Book flight round-trip from hometown to Lisbon and from Lisbon fly to any of your next Euro trip destinations to save money on flights (for those going to the Ibiza after party this is highly suggested).

-Thursday 6/19/25 is Juneteenth, a holiday people can use for their extended travels

- Make sure your passport is up to date and does not expire within 6 months POST wedding

Both Lisbon and Estoril are very Uber friendly.

Rent a Car

If you do rent a car, we highly recommend not driving the day of the wedding. 

The best place to rent a car in Lisbon is at the airport (terminal 1). 
Make sure to confirm you rent an automatic car if you can't drive manual. 
We highly suggest you confirm to book a hybrid or fully gas car. Electric cars are becoming the standard/cheapest options but it is VERY complicated to find charging stations that are convenient. 

Our venue is located approximately 25 min drive from the airport which includes highway driving with tolls. The best option is to get the optional transponder from the car rental company. If not, make sure you have some coins handy to pay at the toll! 

Heres a list of all the car rental companies available:
 
www.avis.co.uk/ 
 
www.hertz.co.uk/ 

www.europcar.co.uk/ 
www.guerin.pt/en/ 


Transfer company

You can also consider a transfer from the airport to your Hotel. we highly recommend the company Convey, if you contact them add the promo code PWPAS and the company is ready to organize a special price for you. They can also be used to transport you to Porto on the other side of Portugal.

Thinking about Uber? 



Uber is super easy and affordable in Lisbon. If you're not up for driving a car, just make sure you have data roaming to able to catch an Uber around the city. 

One thing to note: The estimated trip cost to Sintra (where the venue is located) from Lisbon is €25 each way.

Group Transportation

We are looking into group travel options to and from the venue. More to follow on this.



Visit


JERÓNIMOS MONASTERY 
Built in 1502, it is now classified as a World Heritage Site, and is where you will find the tomb of Vasco da Gama. Beautiful and quick museum! Make sure to walk around the streets for cute little shops as well. 

BELÉM TOWER 
Also a World Heritage monument, the Belém Tower was built in 1515 to protect the harbour. 

MAAT 
One of Lisbon's most iconic buildings is an exceptional example of contemporary architecture. Visitors are allowed to walk over it, to admire a view of the river and the 25 de Abril Bridge. 

FRONTEIRA PALACE 
Most of this palace's outstanding tile collection dates from between 1660 and 1670, covering much of the interior and the impressive garden outside. It's one of the most extraordinary tiled works of art in the world, mixing Portuguese and Dutch examples next to various decorative sculptures. 

ALFAMA AND GRAÇA 
This is Lisbon's oldest neighborhood, found around the castle (Graça) and down the hill towards the river (Alfama). 

CHIADO 
Lisbon's most sophisticated neighborhood, known for shopping (now mostly international chains), cafés and theatres. 

BOTANICAL GARDEN 
The entrance to this garden is through a lane of palm trees that eventually leads to an enchanted “forest” of plants brought from expeditions to Africa, Brazil and Asia in the 18th century. An attraction not to miss is the butterfly greenhouse, which is the only one in Europe that’s open to the public.

What to visit? 
The coastline extending to the west of Lisbon leads to Cascais, an affluent seaside suburb. It is known for its sandy beaches and calm sea, although there are also waves for surfers. It’s the coastline chosen by most tourists for a day at the beach, as it has a regular train service linking it to central Lisbon.

Discover the Old Town
What was once a sleepy fishing village along the Portuguese coast, quickly grew out to be a high-end destination along the Portuguese Riviera.

Cascais Art & Museum district
Within the walls of the Citadel of Cascais, the prolongation of the Nossa Senhora da Luz Fort fortification that used to defend the town from foreign invasions, you’ll find the elegant Cidadela Art District.

Boca do Inferno
Also called Hell’s Mouth. It’s a rock formation that was heavily eroded and where the waves come crashing in.
