Holidaymakers heading to a popular city break destination in Portugal could have to pay in ‘tourist tax’. The fee, which is applied to anyone staying overnight in Lisbon, is set to be doubled after it was approved by the city council.
There will be a 30-day consultation period before it comes into action, with all the revenue generated going towards maintaining the city’s infrastructure. Mayor Carlos Moedas has warned the tax will go from €2 (£1.40) per person per night to €4 per person (£3.40).
