Bonjour mes amis! Lisbon in spring? Excellent choice! The warm weather makes it an ideal time to visit, with average temperatures hovering around a pleasant 15-20°C (59-68°F). As your guide, I'll help you four navigate this beautiful city efficiently and economically.

Let's start with transportation. Lisbon has an excellent public transport system. A Viva Viagem card is your best bet; it's rechargeable and works on trams, buses, and the metro. Expect to spend around €10-15 per person for a week's worth of travel. Taxis are readily available but can be pricier.

Accommodation-wise, consider staying in the Alfama or Bairro Alto districts for authentic experiences. Budget-friendly options like Airbnb or hostels can cost around €30-€50 per person per night, while hotels range from €80 upwards. Remember to book in advance, especially during peak season.

Now, the food! A delicious and affordable meal in a traditional "tasca" (small restaurant) can cost around €15-€20 per person. Don't miss out on the freshest seafood, pastel de nata (custard tarts – a must-try!), and Ginjinha (cherry liqueur). Expect to spend approximately €50-€75 per day on food and drinks for four, depending on your preferences.

Lisbon's charm lies in its narrow, cobbled streets, its historic trams rattling through the hills, and the vibrant Fado music echoing in the evening air. The architecture is a delightful mix of Moorish, Roman, and Baroque styles. Explore the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower (entry fees: around €10 per person for both), wander through the Alfama district, and ride Tram 28 for stunning views (ticket around €3 per person). The locals are generally friendly and welcoming, though be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas.

To immerse yourselves in local culture, attend a Fado show (tickets from €20-€40 per person), visit a local market like Mercado da Ribeira, and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Tagus River. You'll notice the prevalence of orange trees and bougainvillea, adding splashes of colour to the cityscape. Dogs are popular pets in Portugal, and you'll likely see many well-behaved canines accompanying their owners.

For a truly authentic experience, venture beyond the typical tourist traps. Explore the smaller, less-known neighborhoods, strike up conversations with locals (your Portuguese phrasebook will be appreciated!), and discover hidden gems. This approach not only saves money but also provides far richer, more memorable experiences.

Remember, this is just a suggestion; adjust your budget according to your preferences. A reasonable estimate for a 5-day trip for four people, excluding flights, could be around €1500-€2000. This covers accommodation, transportation, food, activities, and a few souvenirs. Enjoy your Lisbon adventure!
