Frequently asked questions.

Will there be buses to/from hotels?

Buses will pickup guests at x for the wedding on June 19th. The first shuttle back to the hotels from the reception will be at 9:30pm and will run every hour. Ubers are also available (approx 15 min from hotel)

Please note there will not be transportation to the Welcome Party on Thursday. We recommend taking an Uber (5 min) or walking (15 min).

What is the dress code?

We’re going for summer cocktail at our Welcome Party and Formal for our Wedding. Lisbon’s weather in June is typically warm and sunny, 62-78°F, so lightweight fabrics are great. Check our itinerary page for specific details on each event!

Where should we stay?

We’ve reserved room blocks at Convent Square Hotel and Torel Palace for convenience. Book by March 15th for discounted rates. Check our travel & stay page for details and other nearby options.

Will I need to speak Portuguese?

Portuguese is the official language, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. You’ll have no trouble getting around without Portuguese, though locals appreciate a friendly “Obrigado” (thank you)!

Are there activities to enjoy in Lisbon before/after the wedding?

Absolutely! Day trips to Belém, Cascais, Sintra, Ericeria all offer different experiences. Within Lisbon, go to the National Azulejo Museum (National Tile Museum), explore different Miradouros (Miradouro de Santa Luzia is one of our favorites), eat pastéis de nata, take a food tour or explore the historic Alfama neighborhood.
