With the rise of the European summer in recent years, Lisbon has become a popular destination. Travelers flock to this coastal capital city for delicious wine, stunning views and endless activities.
GETTING THERE & AROUND
Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport sits about 4 miles from the city. To reach city center, the metro offers a direct line that makes the trip in about 20 minutes, and city and intercity buses stop near the arrivals terminal (luggage size is limited). Taxis to city center are rather affordable (depending on traffic, $11.50–17.40, including luggage fees). Lisbon is a walkable city, and most people choose to walk from place to place. You can also easily get around via metro, Uber, taxi, bus, tram and train.

Jul 16, 2025Hotel Saint Augustine Review
Blending with its Montrose neighborhood like the indigenous and cultivated plants hugging the property’s walkways, the newly built Hotel Saint Augustine opened mid-January 2025. The first Bunkhouse hotel in Houston, Texas, is easily mistaken for garden apartments. Seventy-one guest rooms and suites encompass a tree-lined block. The hotel’s buildings are only two stories tall and also house a lobby, lounge, restaurant and event space. Tucked into a corner of the grounds sits a circular outdoor pool.
