During our last trip to Chiang Mai, we stayed at two beautiful, very instagrammable resorts - Dhara Dhevi Chiang Mai Resort and Panviman Spa & Resort. I enjoyed my time very much at both places and would recommend both to everyone! Chiang Mai isn’t as affordable as it used to be, but it’s still relatively cheap compared to most places in the world, so hotels and resorts are general good value for the money. And it can’t hurt that you can get amazing pictures in your hotel!

In my opinion, a trip to Lisbon wouldn’t be complete without taking a day to explore Sintra. The town is filled with UNESCO world heritage sites, and since most of the attractions are located on top of mountains, you get a great view on clear days. And who doesn’t love castles?!

Sintra can easily be a day trip or a 2-3 day itinerary. Since our Lisbon stay was relatively short, I decided to go for the daytrip option.

I had a chance to visit the beautiful city of Lisbon, Portugal about two weeks ago, and I absolutely fell in love with it. The colorful tiles on the walls, the winding cobblestone alleys, the fresh seafood and friendly local people are just some highlights amongst many. So here’s my suggested itinerary for 3 days in Lisbon, ensuring that you see the most important neighborhoods in the city over a long weekend.
