Explore the sparkling White capital city of Portugal; Lisbon

Lisbon, Portugal’s capital city is a cosmopolitan centre that’s bursting with life. The city offers a contrasting combination.  Medieval facades, interesting Art-Nouveau buildings, typical black and white mosaic sidewalks give the city it’s name of the White City.  As bright yellow trams wind their way through tree lined streets, tourists and locals stroll through the old quarters, much as they’ve done for centuries.

A City Rises

The Lisbon experience encompasses so many things, from enjoying a fresh pastry and espresso on a petite leafy plaza to window shopping in elegant Chiado! Lisbon’s beauty and charm cannot be understated and it is one of the most exciting cities in Europe with a colourful cityscape ready to be discovered. However, this beautiful cityscape was born out of tragedy. In November, 1755, an earthquake and Tsnuami engulfed the Portuguese capital and decimated the city. However, tragedy  bred innovation and out of Lisbon’s reconstruction, some of the first seismically protected buildings in Europe were created. The array of colourful buildings that rose from this event are like a rising sun that can seen from the many panoramic view points from this hilly city.

Portugal’s Hilly, Coastal Capital; Lisbon

Lisbon’s trademark are the rolling hills of the city. Like Rome, the seven hills are spread across the city offering various viewpoints of this captivating city straddling the wild Atlantic. Lisbon’s seaside location on Europe’s doorstep can only mean one thing when it comes to the cuisine. The world-renowned fresh seafood can be found all over the city. From uptown Michelin-starred restaurants to the cosy Tascas, the delights of the sea are in a plentiful in Lisbon. With Portugal’s colourful seafaring history, it is no surprise, cuisines from all around the world can be found in its capital, especially in Mouraria, a neighborhood known for attracting multiculturalism. From the curries of India to the Brazilian rodizios are at the top of the dining list for many Lisboetas.

Experience all the delights you’d expect of Portugal’s star attraction and enjoy the laid back, serene atmosphere.

Suggested Itinerary

Belém

Why not enjoy an unforgettable tour of one of Lisbon’s noble areas, Belém, also known for its renowned role in the Era of the Discoveries, featuring iconic buildings from the 15th and 16th century. Explore the beautiful Jerónimos Monastery built in the 1500s – the interior unveils a gorgeous Gothic-Renaissance style altar, as well as the tombs of many great Portuguese explorers. The Belém Tower and the Monument of the Portuguese Navigators are two unique landmarks of Lisbon. The stunning Monument to the Discoveries pays homage to the city’s sea-faring forefathers who left Lisbon to discover the Orient and the Americas.

Alfama

The steep, narrow cobblestoned streets of Lisbon’s Alfama district show the more traditional side of the city. With remnants of the 5th century city, it has hints of its upmarket Moorish and working class fisherman’s area history. With a distinct village feel, why not enjoy a ‘pastel de nata’, a famous Portuguese egg-tart in a backstreet café and experience the city without the tourist gloss.

Expo Park - Parque das Nações

Constructed for the 1998 World Expo, Expo Park completely rejuvenated the area into the modern face of Lisbon. Now renamed the Parque das Nações, it is home to the excellent Lisbon Oceanarium and a large shopping area.

Sintra

Around an hour’s drive from Lisbon, Sintra was immortalised by the poet Lord Byron as “Glorious Eden”. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, located on a slope of the Mountain of Sintra is the Royal Palace. Once the residence of many Portuguese Kings, it is well worth the visit. Sintra is excellent for shopping, souvenirs and handicraft, and offers a great location to enjoy time at leisure to explore local small shops and cafés away from the hustle and bustle of Lisbon.
