How Love Lisbon creates and updates guides: research standards, independence, corrections, and what we mean by helpful, experience-based city content.

Quick take

  • Goal: useful, calm, experience-first planning — not endless lists.
  • We prioritize clarity and internal linking so readers can plan faster.
  • We aim for accurate, timeless advice (and we note what changes fast).
  • We avoid pay-to-play recommendations and disclose conflicts when they exist.
  • Corrections are welcomed — the best guides improve over time.
  • Last reviewed: 2025-12-31 (site-wide review date).

What “helpful” means here

Love Lisbon is built for trip planning that feels human: the right neighborhood clusters, a realistic walking pace, and simple rules that make the city easier to love.

Our guides focus on decisions travelers actually need to make — where to base yourself, how to structure days, and what to prioritize — with enough context to understand the why.

  • Less checklist, more rhythm.
  • One neighborhood cluster per day (not five).
  • Golden hour as a daily anchor: viewpoint → slow dinner.

E‑E‑A‑T: how we aim to earn trust

E‑E‑A‑T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust) isn’t a checkbox — it’s the result of being clear about what we know, what can change, and how we build recommendations.

We try to keep advice practical and stable (routes, pacing, neighborhood logic) while calling out the things that change quickly (prices, schedules, seasonal events).

  • Experience: write for real walking days and real trip energy.
  • Expertise: focus on planning decisions and logistics that save time.
  • Authoritativeness: use clear structures and consistent internal linking.
  • Trust: disclose conflicts and invite corrections.

Research sources (and what we don’t do)

For practical details, we encourage readers to verify official sources close to travel time. For planning advice, we focus on what stays true: geography, walking logic, and how neighborhoods connect.

We do not try to compete with real-time listing sites. Instead, we link to our own guides that explain how to choose, sequence, and pace your days.

  • Good for: trip structure, neighborhood logic, routes, and timeless planning tips.
  • Not for: minute-by-minute timetables, live pricing, and rapidly changing listings.

Updates, corrections, and feedback

Guides improve when readers tell us what changed. If you spot something outdated (a closure, a major renovation, a transit change), we want to hear it.

When sending a correction, include the page URL, what you observed, and (if possible) the source or the date you saw the change.

  • Best correction message: page URL + what changed + date + source (if available).
  • We prioritize updates that affect trip planning (closures, access, major changes).
