Lisbon
"The White City"

Belém & Belém Tower

Belém is gorgeous, culture-rich, immensely significant in Portuguese history & a jewel in Lisbon?s crown. In terms of places to visit & sights to see, this elegant area of Lisbon holds the record with tarts, towers & historical riches galore.

Jerónimos Monastery

Jerónimos Monastery (Monastery of the Hieronymites), a World Heritage Site, referred to as the ?jewel? of the Manueline style, exemplifying Portuguese art at its best. The cloisters are magnificent - each column is uniquely carved.

Alfama district

The old Arab quarter of Alfama district is a trip back in time to a lovely maze of narrow alleys with old churches, traditional cafes, wrought iron balconies, colorful houses, whitewashed walls & Fado music echoing from bars of friendly locals.

Grilled Sardines & Belém Tarts

From grilled sardines to Belém Tarts, Lisbon?s food is as welcoming as its people. Sardines, a national treat in Portugal, are a specialty in Lisbon where they are prepared streetside over charcoal grills & served with Vinho Verde (green wine).

Sintra & Pena National Palace

Sintra, situated in the mountains west of Lisbon, is dominated by fanciful Palacio da Pena, a royal summer palace with lovely gardens & a breathtaking view. It now houses the world?s best collection of Mudejar Azulejos (glazed tiles).

Lisbon is one of the most enchanting capital cities in Europe. It has experienced a renaissance in recent years, with a contemporary culture that is alive and thriving and making its mark in modern Europe. Perched on the Atlantic, its sense of weathered grandeur set within a natural amphitheatre of hills, together with its breathtaking views across the River Tagus is hard to match. Traditional street festivities, the most sunny blue skies in Western Europe & good weather bless this city nearly year-round. Its a city mixed with old traditions yet reinventing itself in its modern architecture & the need for a vibrant, fast-paced city life. Lisbon is full of rich customs, great cuisine, friendly locals & all sung to the soulful beat of Fado music.
