Most locals are conservative yet very friendly, despite their constant financial drama. Tame climates award this constantly-up-and-down city as an all year-round destination. Take advantage of the close beaches and fresh seafood from the array of gastronomic top-picks. Sip on a frosty cocktail in the Bairro Alto district while tuning into some classic Fado before whizzing through the cities energetic nightlife.
