New long read on the blog: eating out in Lisbon the way we actually do it.
30+ years of travelling by food, our mixed feelings about the Portuguese kitchen, and a live Google map of the restaurants in and around Graça we return to again and again.

Triangle Room: small triangle‑shaped room at Tings with raised bed, street‑facing doors and a Garuda painting linking Lisbon back to Kathmandu. #tingslisbon
Lisbon’s rise as a travel destination didn’t happen by accident. It’s a success story — but also a balancing act. Tourism brings life and opportunity, but also pressure on the city. The real challenge is not stopping it, but shaping it in a way that keeps Lisbon authentic.

Garden Twin: twin beds, shady garden corner, skylight and Nuno Mega stencil art—a cozy twin room in Graça for those done with dorms. #tingslisbon
Cats Twin: basic twin at Tings with private bathroom, AC and a full cat mural honouring Pretty, Tiger, Otto and Ginie, our first “staff”. #tingslisbon
Garden Corner: small double room near the garden at Tings Lisbon—basic on paper, big on calm and character. #tingslisbon
Seeing more families quietly move from “all‑inclusive beach” to “Lisbon + beaches”. Same sand, better food, more life around them.

Attic Room: probably the best value for money at Tings. Small, under the roof, next to the terrace and filled with art from our Copenhagen friends. #tingslisbon
The art of doing nothing, perfected by our resident hosts. While the world gathers 30 meters away at Lisbon's best viewpoint, Chimmie and Rocco prefer the quiet luxury of our hidden garden.
The ultimate 'hygge' experts. 🐈⬛
