What to Pack

Clothing Basics

  • Summery stuff it’s normally high 80s and a little breezy during the day (not humid). Night is normally high 60s.

  • Bathing Suit

  • Water Shoes (if you go to the beach, you might need to navigate stairs)

  • Sunglasses

  • Comfortable Non-Slip Walking Shoes for Lisbon’s slippery cobblestoned hills

  • Long-sleeve shirt or wrap for cool nights

  • Suit or Dress for Wedding (formal attire)

Don’t try to break in new shoes. It’s a lot of walking and you’ll get bad blisters, I’ve been there. Flip flops and heels are not a great idea in Lisbon.

Electronic Accessories

  • Power Adapters so you can plug in your electronic devices

  • A Power Brick to keep your phone[s] charged

  • A Travel Power Strip so you can plug multiple devices in per-Adapter

See our Power Adapters & Bricks page for links to what we use.

Other Things

  • Waterproof Phone Pouch if you plan to get wet (e.g. our Benagil Kayak trip)

  • Your Vaccine Card - Not required, but just in case you’re asked for it

  • Masks - you are required to wear these on public transportation, including Ubers

  • Your Passport (and Passport ID card if you have it) - keep your passport in your Hotel room safe and carry your Passport ID card with you. We also keep pictures of our Passports stored on our phones just in case. In Portugal, you are required by law to carry ID with you.

Don’t Bring These

Note: these are OK if you buy special dual-voltage travel versions. If you’re not sure, you probably don’t have one…

  • Curling Irons

  • Hairdryers

  • Hair straighteners

If you really want to bring yours, you will need to buy a voltage converter - not an adapter. See our Power Adapters & Bricks page for details.
