Your Friend in Lisbon

Locals passionate about Lisbon and ready to share this love with you

Your Friend in Lisbon was born in 2012 by the hand of two journalists that love good Portuguese food, wine and culture.

We used to travel for hours to discover new places, to write about it and to be happy. When we left journalism, we knew we wanted to keep sharing that passion. We created our own tastings and they quickly became a huge success. Your Friend in Lisbon has been growing since then.

Our love for the amazing history and culture of Portugal — one of the oldest countries in the world — was the inspiration to create unique experiences for travelers that prefer authenticity to big crowds.
