Lisbon flights descend into a city built around seven low hills set against the river Tagus; this is a stunning city that has cultural and architectural diversity, as well as a relaxed atmosphere. Flights to Lisbon take around two and a half hours from the UK, and arrive in one of the most enjoyable cities of Europe.

Lisbon is a grand destination for all levels of activity; ideal if you want to sit at a café and watch life go by, yet equally ideal should you wish to explore one of the fifty plus museums hosted here. Amongst the sights are St Jorge's Castle, which can be accessed by walking up from the town through the old neighbourhood of Alfama, and Santa Justa's Elevator, connecting downtown to the Trindade. There is also the monument -packed district of Belém, and downtown (Baixa) is an area rebuilt following the 1755 earthquake. Another must-see is the Ponte 25 de Abril, which is the sister bridge of the Golden Gate in San Francisco, having been designed by the same architect. Don't forget the Christ the King statue, a version of the famous statue of Jesus overlooking Rio de Janeiro.
Cheap flights to Lisbon are most likely outside of Carnevale time in February, as well as away from the peak summer season of June to August, but the best way to secure a cheap flight at any time is to use our flight price comparison tool to search for the best deal, before booking in advance to avoid disappointment.
