As the closest mainland European capital to the U.S., Lisbon, Portugal is one of the easiest destinations for a long weekend trip. And with direct flights from major U.S. cities, breathtaking views, five-star restaurants and bars that are open late, you can get the most out of Lisbon in a short amount of time. At least, that's what I did when I visited for Labor Day Weekend (and stayed at one of the most beautiful hotels in the city, more on that below). Of course, I wish my trip was longer, but you can still make the most of a Friday-through-Monday vacation. Here, a guide for how to spend 72 hours in the City of Seven Hills.
