Estadio Nacional, Lisbon

Scheduled for a stopover in Lisbon in November 2025 and was going to visit then but since l heard about the work l've booked a wee 3 day trip this November. Flights and accommodation £248 each

 

Just back a week ago from Lisbon, its a wonderful city and for a capital city not really expensive tbh. Sure you'll love it and the locals like the hoops as well. Not sure what the weather will be like in November but compared to here it''ll, no doubt, feel warm so thats a positive as well.

 

Train out to the stadium was busy both ways for us, had to stand there and back (which was fine) , quite enjoyed the public transport, but depenedent on your Dad's health might want to consider that. Can probably get on in Lisbon at the station as it's first in the line, Cais do Sodre, where if you are there as the train arrives you can get a seat as it arrives, trains seem to sit for while and fill up over that time, but can't do that on that way back.

Walk from the station is about 20 mins but all easy walking on the other hand and quite pleasant once your are across one major road. For me it added to the experience even though a friend had said not to bother!

 

Definitely doing this trip this year too, can't wait.

 

Just a great experience all round. Think I stayed for about 5 hours.

Lisbon a cracking city. O’Gillins Irish pub right beside the train station as well - nice place to grab a few pints with the other Celtic folk floating about after the stadium
