Lisbon, a city with more than 20 centuries of history, built on several hills at the point where the River Tagus meets the Atlantic Ocean.
For almost the entire year, a bright sunlit sky lights up the modern and cosmopolitan city of Lisbon, the venue for all kinds of major events and the ideal place for shopping, a lively night life and lots of interesting museums. Discover the city by taking a ride on the 28 tram or walking through the centre, rebuilt in the 18th century by the Marquês de Pombal, or the more typical historical quarters of Alfama and Bairro Alto, where at night you can listen to the traditional Fado music. Make your way up to the Castle and commit the unforgettable view from up there forever to your memory. Take a boat trip on the River Tagus and see the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and the Torre de Belém. Hop on the underground and ride out to the Parque das Nações where you can discover one of Europe’s largest Oceanariums.
