We rarely remember trips by the sights. We remember the meals.
Just updated our “Eating out in Lisbon” story: local kitchens, mixed feelings about the Portuguese kitchen, and a live map of where we actually eat in Graça.

Garden Room at Tings: queen bed, en suite and double doors straight into our little jungle in Graça. Small room, big exhale. #tingslisbon

Graça is a canvas. Stay at Tings and you are less than 60 seconds away from some of Lisbon's most iconic murals. Our corner of the city is where historic charm meets modern urban soul.

The fun part of our 1‑star story is how many travellers say, “Good, we don’t trust stars anyway”
Reviews, photos & word‑of‑mouth beat any plaque on the wall. If you’re curious about the rules behind our single star, the post is easy to find.

Summer with kids in Lisbon = city plus Atlantic beaches. Mornings for trams and viewpoints, afternoons for sand and ice cream. I’ve mapped our family‑tested favourites so parents can design realistic summer days before they even book.

Tram 28E can be Lisbon at its best or worst. The trick is timing, where you board, and remembering locals use it as a lifeline, not a ride. I’ve written up how we do it from Graça, with calmer queues and better views.

For street art lovers who want something beyond the centre, Bairro Padre Cruz is wild: giant murals on social housing blocks, an open-air gallery far from the postcards. I’ve written why it’s now on my must-see list.

Our Duplex Lounge is a tiny rock gallery disguised as a duplex room: four‑poster bed, attic lounge, terrace and Bowie, Nico, Zappa on the walls. #tingslisbon

Our garden is a lush, slightly wild sanctuary designed for slow mornings and quiet afternoons—just a few steps away from the city's best viewpoint.

Lisbon\'s best viewpoint next to Tings Lisbon, in happening Graça Next to the best view point
Living next to Lisbon’s highest and most popular viewpoint is a constant reminder of why we chose Graça. It’s the ultimate ‘happening’ spot, yet we have our quiet garden to retreat to right afterward.

Tings Studio is our little house above Graça: bedroom, kitchen, two terraces and enough art and sun to make a work trip feel like a stay. #tingslisbon

The real soul of our house in Graça. Chimmie and Rocco are the true keepers of the peace here at Tings.
Sometimes I think they believe they own the place (and they probably do!). 🐾

Troia is our reminder that you don’t always need a long‑haul flight for a “bounty” beach. One hour from Lisbon + a dune walk and you’re there.

We still get the same question: how can Tings Lisbon only have 1 star?
Because the system rewards elevators and checklists – not charm, linen & home-made bread. Updated our old blog post with a '25 quote. Stars: still mostly noise.

Lisbon’s “secret” Chinese restaurants in aren’t secret on Google Maps anymore – they’re secret because they’re tucked away on upper floors and behind anonymous doors. New post up on why they still feel like a hidden world.

Green Lounge at Tings: king-size bathtub, four-poster bed and a view to Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, wrapped in Walasse Ting and Poul Ekelund. #tingslisbon

Lisbon’s streets are changing galleries – walls that tell stories, not just background for photos. I’ve written my take on where to find the best street art in the city and how to start exploring it.

We spent years flying over Cova do Vapor before finally visiting. Tiny fishing village, long jetty, two beaches and a proper plate of sardines – all less than an hour from our hill in Graça.

Planning a spring or Easter escape with kids? Lisbon is easy: trams, castles, parks and beaches under an hour away. I’ve put 30+ years of kid‑tested favourites into one simple Lisbon‑with‑kids map to plan real family days.

At the Beastie Boys’ Hello Nasty party in Lisbon I asked Adam Yauch why they picked this city. “Because of all the golf,” he smiled. Years later, living here, I finally get it – Lisbon is a quiet little golf magnet with great city life wrapped around it.

Lemon Tree Lounge at Tings: lemon tree outside, Flower Trilogy on the wall, Graça just beyond the garden. Lisbon in a small, lived-in room. #tingslisbon

Part of my ongoing street art series: this chapter focuses on Quinta do Mocho and why we suggest it to Tings Lisbon guests who want something stronger than the usual murals.

Lisbon works when half the family plays golf and half doesn’t. Early tee times for some; beaches, trams, aquariums and city wandering for the rest. Everyone meets back in Graça for dinner and wine. That’s our normal holiday pattern now.

If you’re planning spring travel, look at Lisbon just before Easter: real neighbourhood life, mild weather, empty-ish beaches and a sunny garden office up in Graça.

Red walls, carved mahogany, and a hilltop view over Graça. Red Lounge is our small, red & royal room for Lisbon nights. #tingslisbon

Watching more of our friends with kids skip classic resorts and choose Lisbon instead. City in the morning, beach in the afternoon – same base, different days.

Living and hosting in Graça changed how I “do” Tram 28. Less FOMO, more local rhythm – and a route that fits coffee, viewpoints and wandering, not rush and frustration.

Rain and umbrellas in Lisbon
Rainy day in Lisbon = metro art, azulejos, a quick swim and a cozy dinner instead of viewpoints and miradouros. Collected my favourite wet‑weather routes around Tings Lisbon in a new post. #Lisbon #RainyDayLisbon #MetroArt

Morning light, slow coffee, and rooftops from our White Balcony in Graça. Lisbon at its gentlest. #tingslisbon

Tings started as a tea lounge + small hotel in Kathmandu. Now it’s a 17‑room house with a garden on a hill in Lisbon. Same idea, different city.
