Lisbon’s streets are changing galleries – walls that tell stories, not just background for photos. I’ve written my take on where to find the best street art in the city and how to start exploring it.

We spent years flying over Cova do Vapor before finally visiting. Tiny fishing village, long jetty, two beaches and a proper plate of sardines – all less than an hour from our hill in Graça.

At the Beastie Boys’ Hello Nasty party in Lisbon I asked Adam Yauch why they picked this city. “Because of all the golf,” he smiled. Years later, living here, I finally get it – Lisbon is a quiet little golf magnet with great city life wrapped around it.

Lisbon works when half the family plays golf and half doesn’t. Early tee times for some; beaches, trams, aquariums and city wandering for the rest. Everyone meets back in Graça for dinner and wine. That’s our normal holiday pattern now.

If you’re planning spring travel, look at Lisbon just before Easter: real neighbourhood life, mild weather, empty-ish beaches and a sunny garden office up in Graça.

Watching more of our friends with kids skip classic resorts and choose Lisbon instead. City in the morning, beach in the afternoon – same base, different days.

Living and hosting in Graça changed how I “do” Tram 28. Less FOMO, more local rhythm – and a route that fits coffee, viewpoints and wandering, not rush and frustration.

Tings started as a tea lounge + small hotel in Kathmandu. Now it’s a 17‑room house with a garden on a hill in Lisbon. Same idea, different city.

Summer in Lisbon means one thing for us: picking the right beach for today. Sometimes it’s an easy Uber, sometimes a ferry and dunes. That choice is why we still love living here.

Lisbon before Easter is my favourite version of the city: softer light, fewer queues, and room on tram 28 if you get up early. Spring in Lisbon 2026 is low‑season gold.
