Cheapest time to go to Lisbon
Being on a budget doesn’t have to mean you forgo the flights! If you’ve got your heart set on Lisbon but your wallet feeling a little light, no worries! Seek out the silver linings of shoulder season — namely November. Sure, it might not be time for those beach-side cocktails, but it’s still a wonderful time to wander the historic streets, with a bonus of some sunshine!

Worst time of year to visit Lisbon
We might frown upon "worst" and "Lisbon" in the same sentence, but let's be practical. If a thick crowd is not your piece of pastel de nata, avoid August. The mercury rises and so do the numbers of visitors. Sauntering down the sun-bleached streets might feel more like a chore. Besides, many locals embrace the 'out-of-office' spirit too, leading to closed shops and restaurants.
