One Day Stopover in Lisbon, Portugal
The city of Lisbon is great to explore during a one-day stopover. If you’re looking for cheap flights from North America to Europe, it’s likely that Tap Air Portugal will be one of your top choices. I like Tap Air a lot because they typically have stopovers in Portugal, with enough time to head into the city and explore for a while. This may set some people off from booking their flights though, as most layovers can be from 6 hours to 30 hours.

Whether its for a Bachelor/Bachelorette party, birthday, girls trip, or really any occasion, you’re bound to have a great time in Vegas! I’ve visited Vegas about 8-10 times personally and I’ve always found something new to do each time, along with discovering things I like and do not like doing.
