The largest city and capital of Portugal, with more than 2.7 million residents, Lisbon has the unfortunate distinction of sharing its nickname with Rome. Also known as the city of seven hills, some of Lisbon's streets are so steep that cars are not able to climb them, and funiculars must be used. Popular attractions include Parque das Naçõ, one of the world's largest aquariums, built in time for the 1998 World Expo, and the stunning views of St. Jorge's Castle.

Airfare to Lisbon will be the cheapest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday. Mondays are popular with business travellers and weekends are key dates for holidaymakers wanting the longest trips possible - avoid these dates.

Also consider flights into London, England or Madrid, Spain. To get between the cities, you can grab a spot on a train, bus or flight. Look for cheap flights on no frills Europe airlines. Monarch Airways, RyanAir and Vueling fly to Lisbon. Although it will take longer to reach your destination, a bus or train could save you enough cash to make it worth your while.

Another possible money-saving tip is to look for flights that go through London, England; Frankfurt, Germany; or another major gateway city instead of flying direct. Because there are more flights - and competition - from these cities on Europe low budget airlines, you can save some cash over flying non-stop to your destination. Flights within Europe rarely exceed two-and-a-half hours. It is very common to layover in one of these main cities.

Finally, consider traveling on a lesser-known carrier. TAP (Air Portugal) is the national airline. However, British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa and other airlines also stop in Lisbon.

The most expensive air tickets to Lisbon are found during peak holiday travel times, such as the summer Eurail season. Also be aware of national events or festivals, which can also cause ticket prices to rise.

Summary of Money Saving Tips:

• Fly mid-week
• Book your holiday during the off-peak winter season, January-March
• Consider flying into London, England or Madrid, Spain and traveling overland to Lisbon via train or bus
• Look for flights that go through large cities, with many flights
• Check out carriers besides the national airline - they may undercut the monopolistic competition
