Valentine’s Day in Lisbon? Don’t panic!
You really don't need ideas for Valentine's day in Lisbon
Aah, Valentine’s Day. It comes around every February and makes singles feel more single and couples feel pressured to find new ways to say “I love you” so that they don’t get an earful. Here in Lisbon, we’re lucky that the city itself is a very romantic one, so we don’t have to go all out to make the 14th special. However, if you want to do something extraordinary for your significant other, here are some things to do around town that should score love-y points. Or make you realize that you need to move on!
Lisbon may be one of the most romantic cities in Europe. So don’t panic if you wake up on 14 February and forgotten all about this tradition (we only remember it because we are in Silom in Bangkok that is PINK from plastic flowers, hearts in all shapes and sizes and all kinds of gadgets with sounds and lights).
Just bring a bottle of something fantastic – and maybe some cheese and bread – and head for one of Lisbon’s fantastic Miradouros facing West around 6 pm (sun sets at 6:12).
You don’t need more – the rest will come… But if you feel you need something more spicy to surprise your partner one of our favorite Lisbon blogs has a list of good ideas:
- Go for a scenic walk
- Buy some sexy (under) things
- Keep it classy – free classical concerts
- Have a fancy cocktail
- Nibble on an aphrodisiac
- Indulge in a kinky massage
- See an erotic show
We have a few comments
We miss a few very relevant ideas on Atlas Lisboa’s list
- The ideas are very hetero – what about a Drag Show at Go for a Drag Show at Finalmente Club will mage the list a little more LGTB friendly
- And since it’s Valentine’s Day – why not use the occasion to check your partner’s affection for you by shopping gloves at the best shop in Lisbon: Luvaria Ulisses.
- And the insider: Atlas Lisboa rightly pick our Miradouro da Senhora do Monte as Lisbon’s most romantic. But on an occasion like Valentine’s we would suggest Miradouro de Monte Agudo – this hidden gem is perfect (and also in our hood).
