Flight
Our venue is about an hour north of Lisbon. We recommend flying in to Lisbon International Airport (Humberto Delgado Airport).
Hotel
We have exclusive use of our venue for two nights: Monday, December 28th and Tuesday, December 29th. Quinta da Bichinha is in the rural countryside, about 1hr from Lisbon. There are NO walkable amenities (grocery, pharmacy, etc) near the Quinta. Once you're there, you're there, unless you have a car. If you expect to need to travel elsewhere during the two-day stay, please arrange to get a rental car. There is plenty of parking at the Quinta.
Travel Note
If you're joining us for the wedding and it's your first time visiting Lisbon - lucky you! Lisbon is a stunning city full of history, color, and charm, and picking the right neighborhood will make your trip even more magical. Here’s a quick guide to some of the best areas to stay in for first-time visitors: Baixa/Chiado Baixa and Chiado are the historic downtown neighborhoods. Here you’ll find grand plazas, beautiful tiled buildings, lots of restaurants, shops, and easy access to many of Lisbon’s must-see sights. It’s very walkable, close to public transport, and full of energy — perfect if you want to step right into the action. Alfama Alfama is the oldest district in Lisbon, full of winding alleyways, colorful houses, and breathtaking views. Staying here feels like stepping back in time. It’s a little quieter at night (except during Fado music performances), and it’s great for slow strolls and cozy cafes. Just be ready for some hills! Bairro Alto If you’re looking to enjoy Lisbon’s famous nightlife, Bairro Alto is the place to be. This area comes alive after dark with buzzing bars and restaurants. Just a note: it can be noisy at night, so if you’re an early sleeper, you might want to stay nearby in Chiado instead.
Travel Note
If you choose to stay on site with us, we will provide a shuttle to and from the venue, so you will not need to worry about renting a car to and from the venue. If you are in Lisbon before or after the wedding, the city has a great Metro system that you can use tap to pay/ apple wallet to enter. We'd also recommend downloading the app Bolt (cheaper and more available than Uber) for quick rides around town or when your legs are tired from the hills. You'll see tuk-tuks around (we've found they are extremely overpriced), but Bolt rides are significantly cheaper.
