The days are still hot, and many people are still eager to make the most of summer.
We haven’t quite switched gears yet either. Whenever possible, we make the most of the last few days at the beach, a terrace at the end of the day, and, of course, other summer plans in August to look back on throughout the coming fall and winter.
Time flies, and there’s plenty to do outdoors. These suggestions were created especially for you— someone who loves adventures, good food, and spending time with the little ones… and, of course, making the most of life.
One last dip in one of these 10 pools
We wrote this post with a heavy heart. The hottest months are flying by, and that means content about hotel pools, beaches along the Costa and Linha, and rooftops won’t be back until next year.
If sand and crowds aren’t your thing, there’s nothing better than a nice pool, a lounge chair, and—while you’re at it— a nice, refreshing cocktail. Check out our 4 favorite pools in Lisbon and the surrounding area.
Have the last picnic of the season
Lisbon’s beautiful weather invites you to pack a picnic in your basket and spread out your towel outdoors. From romantic spots to playgrounds perfect for the kids and areas equipped with grills for large groups, Lisbon has dozens of green spaces for you to enjoy the sunny days.
Whether it’s overlooking the Tagus River from Tapada da Ajuda or relaxing in the rowboats at Campo Grande, just pick your favorite spot in the shade.
Grab a bite at one of these outdoor cafes
Outdoor cafes where you can relax, rooftops with the best cocktails and snacks, and gardens where you can find some shade are among the top search terms on Google.
After all, you also need a place to unwind after a day’s work— preferably somewhere you can have a drink and grab a bite to eat with your friends.
Have fun with the little ones
Before you know it, school will be starting for most students, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of the weekends with fun plans for the little ones—plans where you can have fun, too.
With that in mind, and as a way to help the little ones — and, of course, the parents who are currently completely stressed out about back-to-school shopping— relax , we went looking for ideas on what to do with the little ones in Lisbon, so that the return to school is as stress-free as possible.
