Thread: LIS Ranked Best EURO Getaway

Now, if we can just get DL to fly there. Been once on one of the old "Delta Escape" membership trips. We joined for a small fee and they'd offer last-minute travel (Wed emails) for 3-5 nts stays, based on ATS loads. That was in my rev days--my entire family belonged and we went oodles of places (dom and int) --ARN, LIS, CDG, WAW and a few more. We did ARN for $300 RT AI and got bulkhead seats by first class. My parents were in heaven! What a blast! Thank goodness they don't have THAT program anymore! LIS has much to offer. This was our fave hotel and they had an incredible huge terrace triple room that had SUCH a view--check out pics on TA and more:

My trip was with my parents--about 70+ yrs old. That suite was perfect for us--it was the one they feature on their site, with a nice daybed to accommodate yours truly. The terrace had 3 chaises under the overhang , so we ordered some cocktails, had one each and snoozed for about an hour when it drizzled. Ask them for airline discount (can't hurt?)--and don't forget the penthouse location for breakfast. Stunning view. It's in a weird local neighborhood but has views of the monastery. Do a bit of a search and you'll find lots more inf about the local area. I'll find my old notes and add later. If you're taking your mom--spend the price and do it right--I think the big terrace is a bit more, but I am guessing she's worth it.
