About
UXLx: User Experience Lisbon is a four-day conference for designers, researchers and design leaders, focused on the human side of design. The upcoming edition is themed "Designing Human Experiences in the Age of AI", exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping UX practice, research methods and the way product teams make decisions. The event takes place in person in Lisbon, Portugal, from 11 to 14 May 2027. Each day has a distinct role: Tuesday is reserved for full-day leadership and strategy masterclasses followed by a networking dinner, Wednesday and Thursday bring hands-on workshops led by experienced practitioners, and Friday closes with talks and case studies from invited speakers. Recent editions brought together participants from 29 countries, and the organisers describe an audience in the hundreds. The format favours depth over volume, so attendees spend most of their time practising techniques in small groups rather than only listening. For product designers and researchers looking for a UX conference in Lisbon that blends craft, leadership and current debates about AI, UXLx offers a focused week of learning in one of Europe's most welcoming cities.

Planning your trip to Lisbon
Contains sponsored linksUXLx: User Experience Lisbon spans four days in mid-May, arguably the Portuguese capital's finest month: reliably sunny, warm without the summer heat, and with jacaranda trees coming into violet bloom along the avenues. For designers, researchers and product people, the city is itself a study in craft, from hand-painted azulejo tile facades to patterned limestone pavements. The length of the programme leaves room for long evenings outdoors, and Lisbon's dining culture runs late enough to make use of them.
Getting there & around
Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) sits unusually close to the city, about seven kilometres from the centre. The metro's red line starts at the terminal and connects with the rest of the network, reaching central districts in roughly 20 to 30 minutes, while taxis and ride-hailing often take 15 to 25 minutes outside peak hours. Lisbon is built on steep hills, so a hotel's proximity to a metro station matters more than map distance suggests.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on Auto Europe.
Staying connected
Narrow streets and thick-walled old buildings can weaken indoor signal in the historic quarters, and non-EU visitors face roaming fees. A European eSIM arranged before travel keeps navigation dependable on Lisbon's winding hills. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Belém. The riverside district west of the centre concentrates the monuments of the Age of Discoveries: the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower, both UNESCO listed, and the Monument to the Discoveries. The famous custard tart bakery is next door. Tram or train from Cais do Sodré takes around 20 minutes; arriving at opening time shortens the monastery queue considerably. Tickets on Tiqets →
Alfama and São Jorge Castle. Lisbon's oldest quarter climbs from the river to the Moorish castle, whose ramparts give a full panorama of the city and the Tagus. The lanes below are best explored on foot in the late afternoon, ending at a miradouro viewpoint for sunset. Evening fado houses are concentrated here. Comfortable shoes are essential on the polished cobbles. Tickets on Tiqets →
Oceanário de Lisboa. In the modern Parque das Nações district, built for the 1998 World Exposition, this aquarium is organised around a vast central tank visible from two levels. It ranks among Europe's best and takes about two hours. The surrounding waterfront promenade, cable car and Vasco da Gama Bridge views make the area worthwhile beyond the aquarium itself. Tickets on Tiqets →
Sintra day trip. Suburban trains from Rossio station reach Sintra in about 40 minutes. The hill town's romantic palaces, including the colourful Pena Palace and the mysterious gardens of Quinta da Regaleira, form a UNESCO cultural landscape. It gets busy by late morning, so an early train is wise. A full day is needed to see two sites properly. Tickets on Tiqets →
Good to know
What is Lisbon's weather like in mid-May?
Typically sunny and pleasantly warm, with daytime temperatures in the low to mid 20s Celsius and cooler, breezy evenings near the river. Rain is possible but usually brief.
Is a car useful in Lisbon?
No. The metro, trams, buses and suburban trains reach everything a visitor needs, and the historic centre's narrow, steep streets make driving and parking difficult.
How easy is it to get around on foot?
Distances are short but gradients are steep and pavements can be slippery. Funiculars, the Santa Justa lift and the metro help with the climbs, and flat-soled shoes with grip are strongly recommended.
