My dear friend Katherine made a bold move last summer and decided to follow the heat. Smart girl. So I figured, why not find some Portuguese sunshine myself, visit my good friend, and re-live the best Lisbon lady-cation ever?! Tickets booked! My friend Becky also wanted to visit Katherine, so we made plans to head to Portugal together on the same weekend. And we were right — my favorite part of the trip was sitting on deck, drinking white wine and eating charcuterie as the sun set.

Feel inspired by Lisbon when the sun goes down on this private night tour. Follow the footsteps of poets and artists that found inspiration in the local neighborhoods of Lisbon and discover where they lived, loved, got drunk or even got arrested. Spend a bohemian night in Lisbon and discover why poets and artists found inspiration and fell in love with the city, especially when the sun sets. Lisbon saw multiple artists being born on its streets, let's follow in their footsteps!

This post and all its photos will explain to you why Lisbon is great for a girls' weekends. You can also use it as a little Lisbon city guide to help you get the most out of your stay. We stayed in the Bairro Alto district, which is neatly next to Chiado, Baixa and also walking distance from the waterfront and Cais do Sodre train station.
