Observing an odyssey of sea creatures in a state-of-the-art aquarium, and a breathtaking view from the walls of a millennium-old castle. A stunning, seemingly endless modern bridge, and tiny turn-of-the-century trams. Climbing picturesque hills by day and bar-hopping through vibrant cobbled lanes at night. Legendary cafés and art nouveau shops. World Heritage monuments and singular museum treasures. Fairytale palaces and sandy beaches nearby. Long dinners and an insatiable appetite for nightlife. Antiquated and trendy; lively and melancholic. All that is Lisbon. A captivating city. A soulful European capital.
The city's legendary seven hills will also seduce you into admiring characteristic mosaic pavements and dazzling tiled facades, and will reward you with strategically-placed belvederes offering breathtaking panoramas over the city after a ride on a charming old tram. You'll find yourself wandering through colorful 18th century squares downtown and getting lost in the medieval maze of the Alfama or Mouraria districts overlooked by an ancient castle.
