What to see in Lisbon?
Lisbon is a wonderful destination for travellers looking for something different and genuinely enjoyable. From the iconic Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery, which reflect the city’s rich history, to the charming winding lanes of Alfama, Lisbon will leave a lasting impression on you.
If you are wondering why Lisbon deserves a place on your list, here is what the Portuguese capital has to offer.
- Lisbon has a great history
Did you know that this is the second-oldest capital city in the world? Lisbon is full of history and of landmarks that tell fascinating stories about the past. One sight you should not miss is São Jorge Castle, which stands on a hilltop and offers breathtaking views over the city and the river.
Do not skip the charming district of Alfama either — wander through its narrow, winding streets. Its cobbled lanes and medieval architecture will lead you out onto lively squares.
- UNESCO World Heritage sites
Lisbon knows how to show off its cultural and architectural treasures, and its UNESCO World Heritage sites are no exception.
One of the most remarkable of them is the Belém Tower (Torre de Belém). Built in the 16th century, this fortress stands proudly on the banks of the River Tagus.
Another UNESCO landmark you simply have to see is the Jerónimos Monastery, also in the Belém district. Built in the 16th century, this stunning monastery is a true masterpiece, famous for its intricate detail, its magnificent cloisters and its beautifully decorated chapels.
Both the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery are considered genuine jewels of Lisbon’s cultural heritage.
- The fairy-tale palaces around Lisbon
Only a short distance from Lisbon lies the picturesque town of Sintra, set on a hillside and famous for its enchanting palaces and castles. A visit to Sintra feels like stepping into a magically beautiful world.

Popular connections from Tbilisi to Lisbon
Because there is no direct flight on the Tbilisi – Lisbon route, the journey always involves one connection and occasionally two. These are the transit hubs travellers use most often:
- Istanbul (IST) — the most convenient option: Turkish Airlines operates several flights a day from Tbilisi to Istanbul, and Istanbul – Lisbon is one of the airline’s regular daily routes.
- Warsaw (WAW) — LOT Polish Airlines takes you from Tbilisi to Warsaw, and Warsaw – Lisbon is served all year round.
- Munich (MUC) and Vienna (VIE) — the Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines network; both hubs have daily onward flights to Lisbon.
- Athens (ATH) — an Aegean Airlines flight from Tbilisi to Athens, followed by the Athens – Lisbon service.
- Doha (DOH) — the Qatar Airways option: a longer routing, but often an attractive fare and the comfort of a wide-body aircraft.
The second leg into Lisbon is frequently operated by Portugal’s national carrier, TAP Air Portugal, which links almost every major European hub with Lisbon. That is why it pays to compare both options when searching: a single through ticket with one airline, and a combined routing with two carriers.
Lisbon airport and getting into the city
Lisbon’s main gateway is Humberto Delgado Airport (code LIS), just 7 kilometres from the city centre — one of the closest airports to a city centre anywhere in Europe, so reaching your hotel after landing takes very little time.
- Metro — the “Aeroporto” station sits right beside Terminal 1, and the Red Line (Linha Vermelha) brings you into town in roughly 20–30 minutes. For the central Baixa-Chiado area, change at “Alameda” onto the Green Line.
- Aerobus — the express bus (lines 91 and 92) connects the airport with Cais do Sodré in the city centre; the ride takes 25–35 minutes.
- Taxis, Uber and Bolt — the taxi rank is directly outside the arrivals exit, and both Uber and Bolt operate in Lisbon. Without traffic, the drive into the centre takes 15–25 minutes.
What to know before you travel
- Time difference — Portugal is 4 hours behind Georgia in winter and 3 hours behind while summer time is in force. Keep this in mind when choosing a connecting flight or planning your return date.
- Currency — Portugal is part of the eurozone and payments are made in euros (EUR). Cards are widely accepted, although cash still comes in handy at small cafés and markets.
- Language — the official language is Portuguese, but English is used freely in tourist areas, hotels and restaurants.
- Visa — Georgian citizens holding a biometric passport do not need a visa to enter Portugal: stays in the Schengen area are permitted for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
- EES — the new border system — since April 2026 the EU’s Entry/Exit System has been fully in operation at Schengen borders, recording fingerprints and a facial image on your first entry. Passport control therefore takes a little longer the first time, so allow extra time for your connection.
- ETIAS — the EU’s travel authorisation system ETIAS has not launched yet and no official start date has been confirmed. Until it does, no additional permit is required.
