Before we set off for Lisbon, we first gathered some information and then jumped head first into the preparations for the trip. From “how do we get there” to “where are we going to staying” all the way to “is it worth going there in March”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and is located on the Iberian Peninsula. Here, in the furthest south-western part of Europe, the river Tejo flows into the Atlantic. Lisbon is located about 13 kilometres away from the northern bank of the estuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city is situated on 7 hills. The highest elevation in the urban area is 226 meters high. Around 2 million people live in the greater Lisbon area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the direct location on the Atlantic, the climate is very much influenced by the sea. The summers are not too hot and the winters are mild. It rarely ever gets cold enough for snow. In Lisbon, most of the rain falls mainly from October to March. The best time to travel is April \/ May and early autumn September \/ October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
