Survey data from Civitatis, reported by Hosteltur, confirms that Lisbon stands out among capitals favoured by Spanish travellers for their historical and cultural appeal, such as Rome and Paris.

Lisbon's popularity is part of a broader trend, as Spanish tourists increasingly book short European vacations.

Lisbon benefits as Spanish tourists prioritise safety, proximity, excellent transport, and integrated local experiences when selecting destinations amidst European stability.

Despite inflation and rising costs, the intention to travel to Lisbon remains strong among Spanish tourists.

While many Spaniards vacation domestically, 21% of survey respondents still prioritise international travel, keeping Lisbon as an attractive option.

The continued interest in Lisbon highlights families' commitment to travel, even as habits adjust.

Financial constraints will affect spending, with average Spanish tourist expenditure in Lisbon not expected to exceed €952 per person this summer.

Given Spanish tourists' lower projected budgets than those of other Europeans, Lisbon tour operators must focus on competitive, value-rich offerings to maintain strong appeal.
