DESTINATION GUIDE

Lisbon

Lisbon, Portugal’s capital, brings together tradition and modern life, history and cosmopolitan energy. Built across seven hills, it offers viewpoints over the Tagus River, cobblestone streets, historic trams, and distinctive neighborhoods such as Alfama, Bairro Alto, and Chiado. The Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery reflect the legacy of the Age of Discovery, while street art and contemporary cafés reveal the city’s creative side.

With mild weather, irresistible food from pastéis de nata to bacalhau, and a lively cultural scene, Lisbon rewards slow walks, tram rides, and evenings accompanied by fado. Museums, river cruises, and the simple pleasure of getting lost in its narrow streets make every corner feel different.
