Getting married in Lisbon and Sintra

A sunny capital and fairytale palaces in the hills.

Lisbon combines a lively city weekend with nearby palaces, quintas and the coast at Cascais. Sintra, with its romantic palaces and gardens, is a favourite setting for ceremonies.

When to go

May, June, September and October are ideal. Sintra is cooler and can be misty, which some couples love.

How guests get there

Lisbon's airport has direct flights from many cities in Europe and North America.

Where guests stay

Guests stay in the city, in Cascais by the sea, or in quintas around Sintra.

Ideas for the weekend

  • Pastéis de nata and a tram ride
  • Sunset drinks on a miradouro
  • A day at the beach in Cascais

Good to know

  • Lisbon is hilly; plan transport for guests who find walking difficult.
