The Couple
Two families, and one very good reason to bring everyone to the Portuguese coast.
31 July – 2 August 2026
Come for the wedding, stay for the weekend. Three days along the Lisbon coast — a rooftop welcome, a wedding on the fort, and a long, lazy Sunday by the water. Here's how it unfolds.
Day One · Friday, 31 July
Strangers at 3pm. Friends by sundown. That's the plan.
Dress · Aperitivo Chic
The sweet spot between dressed up and laid back.
Day Two · Saturday, 1 August · The Wedding
For 400 years it has watched the Atlantic. Today, the Atlantic watches back.
We'll marry on the open terrace as the sea catches the late-afternoon light, then move inside for dinner and dancing.
Dress · Fabulously You
Summer formal — dress beautifully, no need for black tie. Think linen suits and flowing summer dresses.
Day Three · Sunday, 2 August
The sea doesn't care what time it is. Neither do we. The weekend isn't over until the sea says so.
A relaxed, sit-down afternoon at the beach club — long tables by the water, with swimming for anyone who wants it. Come as you are.
Dress · Riviera Bon Vivant
Bring a swimsuit — the sea will be waiting.

Book on Booking.com →Getting Around
Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is the gateway — about 20–30 minutes from the city and the coast by taxi or transfer.
The weekend spans greater Lisbon — central Lisbon on Friday, the Estoril coast on Saturday, and Costa da Caparica on Sunday. Plan your hops with a little room to spare.
We recommend Bolt — the fastest, simplest way around the city. (This is not a paid endorsement.)
Practical Notes
Visa
Portugal is in the Schengen Area. Many passports — including the US, UK and GCC — enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Check your nationality's rules, and that your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your trip.
ETIAS & entry
Good news: ETIAS is not required for August 2026 — it begins later, with an official EU app at launch. For the latest, see travel-europe.europa.eu/etias. At the border, the new EES takes a quick photo and fingerprints from first-time visitors — allow a little extra time.
Money
The currency is the Euro (€). Cards are accepted almost everywhere; keep a little cash for small cafés and taxis.
Weather
Early August is gloriously warm — around 28°C / 82°F by day, with cooler sea breezes at night. Sunscreen, sunglasses, a light layer.
Language
Portuguese is the local language, but English is widely spoken across Lisbon, Estoril and Cascais.
Power
Plugs are Type C/F at 230V. Bring a European adapter for your phones and chargers.
Getting online
An eSIM is the easiest way to stay connected the moment you land.
Tap water
The tap water is clean and safe to drink right across the region.
