If you only get to Lisbon once in your life, go in June and stay in Alfama at Alexandra and Pedro's lovely home. The whole town celebrates with neighborhood parties where the food and drink are plentiful and the laughter and dance music go well into the night. We were warned about the noise but found the whole experience charming. Don't go and be a party pooper. Get outside and eat some sardines fresh off the grill and dance the night away. Thank you Alexandra and Pedro, it was a blast!
