Airline and stops
Ryanair operates this route. Best part: it's a direct flight, no aircraft changes. Depart London, land straight into Lisbon. With Ryanair, watch the baggage: cabin bag is included (but size-controlled), and checked luggage costs extra. They make their money on extras, so calculate what you actually need before paying.
Best time to visit
Lisbon is good year-round, but spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October) offer nice weather without summer crowds or peak prices. If you want bargain flights, low season (November to February) is your friend, though December ticks up a bit. July and August are pricey and rammed. Skip Christmas and New Year if you're after peace and quiet.
What to do in Lisbon
The capital is compact and easy to get around. Stroll through Belém (Tower of Discoveries, Jerónimos Monastery), climb up to São Jorge Castle for 360° views, explore the bohemian Príncipe Real neighbourhood, try Pastéis de Nata at any local bakery. Tram 28 is an iconic ride (though slow). Eat at local tasca restaurants, drink Portuguese wine without spending big, and catch the Tagus at sunset. Five days covers everything comfortably.
