Here are 4 reasons why Lisbon wins as
a budget holiday:
Shockingly affordable places
to stay
The hostels and Airbnbs are super
cheap. You can stay in a private room
in most Airbnbs, for £12 a night!
Extensive partying, and a
FREE festival
There are a tonne of choices from
bars, clubs, outdoor venues. Music
Box is an underground venue hosting
a variety of genres and top DJs both
local and international.
Talking of 'free' and saving money,
one thing that HAS to be mentioned
is weekend long Freekuency festival.
With free in the name it is true, this
festival is just that.
With 2 stages and 3 areas of music,
hosting techno, drum and bass, reggae
and more, plus drinks & entertainment,
such as the circus, street art, fire
shows, theatre, pantomime and magic;
Freekuency is dance music heaven.
Top food without top price
One of the amazing things about
Lisbon is the seafood. The city is
surrounded by coastline which means
a huge variety of fresh, locally sourced
and tasty seafood on offer.
If you want to sample the cuisine
without spending your whole
allowance for the holiday you could try
the tapas style. Choose a restaurant
and order a variety of dishes to share.
Sun, sun, sun
The weather in Libson can go up as
high as 28-degrees! You can pay a lot
of money to fly somewhere hot and
sit on a beach, but you can do that in
Lisbon, along with so much more.

has it all, which makes it one of the most versatile
places to visit. All this must have to break the bank
slightly, right? Not with Lisbon, if you do it right
that is.
