Lisbon, the vibrant capital city of Portugal, captivates visitors with its rich history, charming neighbourhoods and breathtaking views. Perched atop seven hills overlooking the Tagus River, Lisbon boasts a picturesque skyline dotted with colourful buildings, historic landmarks and ancient castles. Its cobbled streets wind through lively districts such as Alfama, known for its maze-like alleys and traditional Fado music, and Bairro Alto, a bohemian enclave brimming with eclectic shops, trendy bars and lively nightlife.
Beyond its old-world charm, Lisbon embraces modernity with contemporary art galleries, innovative restaurants and a burgeoning tech scene. Visitors can immerse themselves in the city's cultural tapestry by exploring museums like the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, dedicated to Portugal's iconic ceramic tiles, or taking a leisurely stroll along the waterfront promenade of Belem, home to the historic Belem Tower and the ornate Jeronimos Monastery. With its warm climate, hospitable locals and dynamic blend of old and new, Lisbon beckons travellers to discover its timeless allure and vibrant energy.
