Lisbon is the sunniest capital in Europe — hills, tiles, custard tarts and surfable beaches, all reachable on a Friday-to-Sunday hop.
Lisbon is best known for pastéis de nata, tram 28, miradouros and Atlantic beaches. With direct flights from most major European cities, you can leave Friday after work and be back for Monday — no annual leave required.
