About
Hills, tram rides and pastel tiles by the river. Lisbon's Shaaré Tikvá synagogue and Chabad serve the community and visitors, and there are a few kosher restaurants and shops. Easy day trips to Sintra and the coast.
Good to know: only 2 shuls and 3 kosher places are on our map here so far, and the real number is likely higher. Before you book, check with the local Chabad (search Chabad Lisbon) and look up kosher on Google Maps.

Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.
Minyan
Shuls & Chabad
Chabad houses first. Call ahead for minyan times.
4 shuls, Chabad houses and kosher places in this city were added or completed by hand from Chabad, kashrut-agency and community websites (checked November 2026). Each one links to its source.
Not every shul is on the map yet: search synagogues on Google Maps. Denomination is shown only where it is mapped. Something wrong? Report a correction.
