Lisbon, Portugal

This Thanksgiving, we traded turkey for pastéis de nata and set off on an unforgettable adventure through Lisbon, Portugal. From the moment we landed, the city welcomed us with festive lights, rich history, and warm hospitality at the elegant Aurea Museum Hotel. We explored Lisbon by Tuk Tuk, tasting legendary pastries, wandering historic neighborhoods, and marveling at iconic sites like Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery. Day trips took us to the fairytale palaces of Sintra, the seaside cliffs of Cabo da Roca, and the charming streets of Óbidos.

We celebrated the season with festive markets, soothing spa visits, and even matching azulejo-inspired tattoos. From handcrafted tiles to panoramic views atop Christ the King, every moment blended culture, cuisine, and connection. Lisbon gifted us a Thanksgiving we’ll never forget—one filled with warmth, wonder, and wanderlust.
