30 Beautiful Photos That Will Inspire You to Visit Lisbon

This is my Lisbon photo diary, with 30 of my favorite images from a 3 day trip spent exploring the Portuguese capital’s historic alleyways, authentic Portuguese life, and stunning vistas that the city has to offer. 


I very first time I laid eyes on Lisbon, I was in love. After 5 visits to the Portuguese capital, I can say that the love is still as strong as it was during my first visit.

Why do I love it so much?

How would I describe it? It has the relax atmosphere of the Mediterranean without feeling sleepy; it is historical without feeling stuffy, everything is a little bit hipster, it’s young, and it doesn’t pretend to be something that it’s not. I’ve read how some people found it “dirty” because it had graffitis on buildings and trams, but I couldn’t disagree more. That’s part of the Lisbon charm, that’s part of what makes it unique and beautiful.

Lisbon is also not what you think of when you think “European capital”. It is not as grandiose as Paris or Rome; it does not have an Eiffel Tower or a Coliseum. Despite being the second oldest capital in Europe (after Athens), Lisbon does not seem old. And there is a reason for that: it had to be rebuilt almost completely after the 1755 earthquake. It that sense, the Lisbon you see today is relatively young compared to it’s European counterparts.

Lisbon also often feels many small towns rather than one large capital city. Each one of it’s neighbourhood has a character of it’s own and each deserves to be explored!

I visited in late October, when the pace was slower and the friendly chatter of neighbours filled streets. Lisbon is never really quiet, but the Fall brings a sense of peacefulness that is harder to find in the summer months.

This is my Lisbon photo diary; full of my favourite photos to inspire your own adventures to Lisbon soon too.

Winter hiking can be magical… unless you make these mistakes. ❄️

I’ve made my fair share of winter hiking mistakes, and trust me—some made my hike way harder than it needed to be. Avoid these 5 common mistakes (and don’t miss the 3 extra ones at the end!👇).

1️⃣ Overdressing & Overheating
I was afraid of being cold, so I layered up too much. Big mistake. Once you start moving, your body warms up fast—and sweating in the cold makes you freeze later. Wear breathable layers you can easily remove.

2️⃣ Skipping the Snowshoes
The trail looked packed, so I thought I didn’t need them. Two minutes later, I was sinking knee-deep in snow. If there’s fresh or soft snow, bring snowshoes.

3️⃣ Not Checking Trail Conditions
Deep snow, ice, or even surprise closures can ruin your hike. Check trail reports before heading out and bring microspikes or snowshoes if needed.

4️⃣ Starting Too Late in the Day
Winter days are short, and the sun sets fast. Start early so you’re not racing against daylight.

5️⃣ Forgetting a Second Pair of Gloves
Wet gloves = cold, miserable hands. Whether from snow or sweat, a dry backup pair is a lifesaver.

🚨 And here are 3 mistakes most people don’t think about… but definitely should! 👇

6️⃣ Not Protecting Your Phone from the Cold
Cold weather drains your phone battery FAST. Keep it in an inside pocket close to your body and bring a portable charger.

7️⃣ Ignoring Wind Chill
-5°C might sound fine, but with wind chill, it can feel like -15°C or worse. Dress for the “feels like” temp, not just the forecast.

8️⃣ Not Telling Anyone Your Plan
Winter hiking conditions can be unpredictable. Always tell someone your route and expected return time.
