Flight time is about 2 hours 45 mins and once you arrive in Lisbon, best way to get to your accommodation is to get a taxi from the rank outside, the most organized taxi rank I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t cheap at €1,300 for 2 of us for 5 nights, but we wanted a nice hotel including breakfast and when we were booking, it seemed to be the average price for a central location. The tour ends near the church on the grounds where St Anthony was born so grab some food in one of the eateries around there, many offer a 3 course lunch option for €12. Then make your own way back finding new places and take a walk down towards Praça de Comércio to have a drink at one of the bars in the square and enjoy some people watching.

In my day job, I work with some of the best photographers and at one of my events last month, my photographer Dermot told me that after my event he was off to shoot a proposal! so Dermot let the happy couple know about my blog after the proposal and they were thrilled that I wanted to share their story. Jillian and Peter are from New Jersey in the US and were holidaying in Ireland when the proposal took place at The Powerscourt Hotel River On Peter’s last day of work he asked Jillian for her number and the rest is history.

We arranged transfers with our accommodation, the host’s husband collected us and brought us to the apartment, explaining a few things about Dubrovnik and things to do along the way, he even drove down by the Old Town for us to see where the bus stop was. We were told about the 1, 3 or 7 day travel card when we arrived which includes bus and 7 attractions however when we looked into it, it didn’t make sense financially for what we wanted to do. : We got the bus down to the Old Town again and after a little walk around, enjoyed a cocktail at Bistro Revelin down by the harbour. We didn’t have enough time to visit inside the Palace as they were closing and it takes about 40 minutes so make sure to do a walking tour at the beginning of your trip so you can decide what you want to do
