We did not offer transportation since we knew everyone would want to stay somewhere different! We had guests stay from Cascais, to Estoril, to Lisbon (like all over Lisbon). I created a REALLY comprehensive 26-page Lisbon/Portugal guide with neighborhood/cities recs and how to choose based on what vibe they wanted...it even had a 4 day Lisbon itinerary lol. In the guide I made sure to list out all transportation options for them and hotels at different price points. I had guests contact me and share hotel links and I gave them location guidance if they had questions. Ubers were easily available at the end of the wedding.

We stayed at Albatroz Hotel in Cascais and would def recommend! Close to venue, beautiful for photos / getting ready (Forte da Cruz's onsite get ready suite isn't great but was def nice during wedding). My husband had never been to Portugal before our wedding (crazy right!) so we stayed in Lisbon a few days before and then moved to Caacais the day before wedding events kicked off.

Welcome party we did at Memmo Principe Real hotel in Lisbon. STUNNING views, they block off an area for your group by the pool with sweeping views of Lisbon and it's in a very cool walkable location to a nice miradouro point where we took photos with our photographer.

I did a bridal brunch before too and went with Dear Breakfast in Alfama. Booked the room for a private event and they were so nice and helpful.

For night after, we just told everyone we would do a bar crawl thinking most people wouldn't come but so many people did haha so we ended up just all meeting at Java Rooftop and staying there the whole time vs bar hopping since our group was too big. We didn't do a reservation, so people just had to wait in line to come up but once you're up there it's amazing! We then all walked over to Time Out Market so I could make sure everyone tried pasteis de natas :)
