A Lisbon guide for planning an evening out

I framed the guide around a decision: where to go tonight. Area, type of place, mood and dietary preferences became four short questions. A written request offers another way in.

I chose three results to keep comparison manageable. Each recommendation explains its fit, while the directory stays available for people who want a wider choice.

A short list is only useful if it is easy to correct. I kept the answers above the results, with controls to remove a preference, edit the quiz or change the price range without starting over.

I added match reasons to show which preferences contributed to each suggestion. One remaining question is whether people notice when a place fits only part of their request.

Reviewing behaviour in PostHog helped me identify a gap between finding a place and planning an evening. I prioritised events and nearby places together, so someone choosing an event could also find somewhere to eat before or after.

I added those restaurant links to event pages. City stops also connect to nearby food and drink, and the saved board groups options by neighbourhood. The next step is to check how people use these connections and make a plan easier to share.

Lisbon’s street posters informed the expressive type, warm colours and illustrated cast. The characters stand for different evenings: a familiar local place, a date, a group outing or an unexpected stop.

The quiz, results and place details share typography, controls and spacing. Venue photography gives people another way to judge the setting. I also worked directly with local venues on photos and listings as we launched the guide.
