The Wedding Website of Alexis West and Taylor Sipple
Lisbon is arguably Western Europe's most underrated capital city. It's also one of the continent's oldest. First founded as a trading port city in 1200 B.C., Lisbon pre-dates Rome. Today, the "City of Light" is thriving. Indeed, Lisbon checks all the boxes. It's home to colonial architecture, destination museums, and even its own genre of music. Hop on an iconic yellow tram and explore a fortified castle, a bustling waterfront, or a colorful maze of cobblestone streets. There's fun food – think themed trucks and even cereal bars – and fine food – five Michelin-star restaurants. At night, retire to a funky hostel, beautiful boutique property, or a 16th Century five-star hotel. - Travel & Leisure

Travel Note

Things to Know

Entry & Exit Requirements: A passport with at least three months remaining validity is required for entry into Portugal. Currency: Euro Language: Portuguese but English is widely spoken Outlets: Portugal uses type F and type C plugs. The U.S. uses type A and B. So, pack an adapter or be prepared to buy one at the airport. Since the voltage in Portugal is 230V you may also need to bring a converter if you're using something that isn't compatible with 230V.

Flight

Flight Details

Lisbon airport code: LIS The Lisbon airport is about 20 minutes from downtown Lisbon. We recommend taking out cash in advance if you plan to take a taxi as the wait for a taxi that accepts credit cards tends to be long. BOOK IN ADVANCE Portugal’s national airline, TAP Portugal, is a great option for your flight search especially if you want to tag on a European adventure before or after the wedding, check out TAP’s Stopover option. TAP has direct flights to Lisbon from JFK, Newark, & Logan (Boston). If you want to fly direct on a budget, TAP is your best bet. Other carriers that fly non-stop from NYC are Air France, KLM, Delta, Lufthansa, United, and Brussels Airlines.
