💐 Post Wedding Chronicles: Lagos

After the wedding, Nathan and I will be heading to Algarve region (specifically Lagos). If you’re planning to join us, please scroll past the Lisbon hotel recs to read more about it! Lagos is about 2.5 hours south of Lisbon by car and we do recommend renting a car to drive rather than taking the bus. If your time in Portugal is limited, you might consider visiting other cities instead—check out the "OTHER CITIES" sections at the bottom of this page.

🌆 Lisbon Hotel Recommendations

Great areas to book a hotel in Lisbon include Graça, Alfama, Avenida da Liberdade, Príncipe Real, Estrela, and Santos. These neighbourhoods are charming and typically a 15-30 minute walk to many of the city’s top attractions. A quick note: Lisbon’s historic charm means some hotels may lack modern amenities like elevators or air conditioning. Be sure to double-check for the features that matter most to you.
