About Lisbon

Lisbon, capital of Portugal, sits where the Tagus meets the Atlantic. With seven hills, historic neighbourhoods like Alfama and Bairro Alto, and a blend of old-world charm and contemporary culture, Lisbon is a compact city ideal for short-break travellers.

Why visit?

Visitors come for the architecture, the food, the mild climate and the lively cultural calendar. Tram 28 winds through the historic core, while riverside Belém holds important monuments and pastelarias offering traditional pastries.

Best time to visit
