The city of Lisbon, Portugal, ranked as the happiest destination in the world for travelers, according to a study from BookRetreats, which offers packaged wellness vacations. That was thanks to its more than 2,800 hours of annual sunshine, expansive green spaces, and healthy restaurants throughout. "Walkability is another of Lisbon's mood-boosters," company wrote in its study. "The city is compact and easy to navigate on foot, with panoramic viewpoints that reward slow exploration."

But when people visit and ask me for advice on what to see, do, and eat, I'm more than happy to share my personal recommendations (seriously, slide me a DM, and I'll share my private Google doc with you). There is, however, one travel tip I think everyone plotting a vacation here needs to know. And that is you should never-ever-skip a sunset.

The accessories, which appear to glow and sparkle, are filled with stickers that read "muy bien," or "very good." As the two frolic around Lisbon, practically effervescing with good cheer and a desire to connect with others, they facilitate a diverse and joyful group of people who gather in a court.

Lisbon has rapidly grown as one of the most inventive foodie hotspots in Europe, with popular restaurants like Prado, 100 Maneiras, and Belcanto paving the way since 2017.
