Romantic birthday evening in Lisbon

June 8, 2016 5:26 PM

Looking for romantic things to do on June 19th for my girlfriend's birthday in Lisbon.

We'll be flying in that day but will be free from 7pm on. I would love to surprise her with a very fun night as her birthday gift. We are up for anything.

Try Almada Ponto Final, it's next to heaven, but expensive and enjoyable during daylight. meh.

Touristy but if you go late at night it won't be packed and it's so much fun - ride Tram28

Best answer: My family went to Lisbon last May and one of the best things we did was a boat tour! The definitely have romantic ones where they'll give you a glass of wine and ride you around on a sailboat or motorboat and they'll give you a nice overview of different parts of the city and the view will be gorgeous from the water and you will both have a great time and then you can go get a nice dinner and drink some Portuguese wine.

The company we used was LisbonByBoat and the people were SUPER nice and charming and so knowledgeable about and proud of the city and we had a wonderful time (actually took the tour twice, the first and last day, because it was such a great introduction to the city and it really helped us contextualize all the places we visited by seeing them from the river).

Have a FANTASTIC time!

I was there with Mrs. Pterodactyl and would second the boat trip if you can. Also, we had one night where we just sat in a Miradouro for a little while pre-dinner. There was a little bar with drinks, and some street performers, and we enjoyed the view. Simple, but really nice and could definitely be romantic. We were at the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, but I'd expect others to be as nice.
