Tips For Visiting Portugal For A Bachelorette Party?

Dear Jennifer,

There’s no need to get stressed out. You and your friends will have a wonderful time. You’re not going to embarrass yourself.

Don’t worry about finding your way around – Lisbon is easy to get around in with some planning. Depending on where you’re going, there are a variety of ways to get around, including:

• Trains: Quick and easy access to any point in the country (I would recommend a visit to Sintra and one to Cascais).
• Buses: Affordable public transport available. Not my favorite, I would recommend the metro and Ubers.
• Car Rentals: Great for discovering the countryside, but since you’re in Lisbon, I say skip it. You don’t want to drive in our ridiculously narrow stone roads.
• Uber: Convenient way to get around in urban cities, this or Bolt are the winning answers.

Picking up basic Portuguese will help you communicate better, but in Lisbon, almost everyone speaks English.
