Lisbon is a outstanding,
comprehensive and also the major city in Portugal. It is
also known as "the town of the seven hills", so be
prepared for up and downhill walks.
Included in the
spectrum of large European cities, the Capital of Portugal
(Lisbon) harmoniously combines traditional and modern
values and holds the position of a large Capital of
culture and tourism. Traditional momuments linked to the
essence of traditional poetry and Fado coexist with
modern buildings and leisure-areas, satisfying even the
most demanding travelers.
Lisbon is a city
of many people and of different cultures and has a never
ending supply of attractionsfor its visitors. Excellent
hotels and restaurants, many cultural sights of interest,
the well-known hospitality of its people and the seven
hills full of history turn Lisbon into a unique city worth
being discovered.
From the castle
to the Bairro Alto, from Monsanto to the Parque das
Nações, from Avenidas Novas to Belem, Lisbon has been
submitted to changes which enhance the city´s
requalification and the quality of life of its inhabitants
and visitors.
Our advice is to
buy a map and study it well before you go. Get familiar
with the main streets and places. In a city like Lisbon,
with so many places to see, you'll be saved from a lot of
time (and energy) on searching.
