Celebrating love

Lisboa is the ideal city to celebrate the most romantic day of the year: Valentine's Day, commemorated on February 14.

To make the most of this special day, Lisboa offers you thousands of experiences to enjoy the most romantic of times. Here are some suggestions for all tastes and to suit every couple. A walking tour of Lisboa in the company of your partner is always a good choice to feel the city's pulse. Lisboa enjoys a myriad of spots that offer the perfect setting to seal romantic vows of love. These include the Moorish nooks and alleyways of its historic district, the belvederes overlooking panoramic views from the top of its seven hills, and all the riverfront, where you can best admire the Lisboa's sublime light. A relaxing lunch at one of the several restaurants in Praça do Comercio offers a perfect finale to your romantic tour.

Heading towards the Baixa district for an afternoon of shopping, you can find the ideal gift to surprise your loved one, in the wide variety of traditional high street shops and well known brand stores. The offer is not only tempting but also unique.

And since dating is the theme of the day, make the most of the late afternoon to admire views of Lisboa seen from the Tagus, on board one of several cruise boats that go up and down the river, creating a setting worthy of the greatest love stories. Along the way you can enjoy an insider's perspective to some of Lisboa's greatest attractions, such as Jeronimos Monastery and Belem Tower, the city's best known landmarks.

Returning to the city centre, Chiado is the perfect place for a romantic setting, with a special dinner at one of several restaurants in the area famous for their sophisticated décor and innovative cuisine. Complete this Valentine's Day to the sound of good music in the many bars and nightclubs of Bairro Alto, Bica and Cais do Sodre. Plenty of nightlife is guaranteed. For those who enjoy a good show before, Casino Lisboa at Parque das Nações provides the ideal venue.
