HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Take the Gustav Eiffel-designed Elevador de Santa Justa to the Bairro Alto (Upper Town) for a panoramic view over the city > Wander around the Alfama quarter > The Jerónimos Monastery and the Torre de Belém - both Unesco World Heritage Sites

The charm of Portugal’s capital city is its combination of an incredible heritage with a wonderful, laid-back atmosphere. Once the centre of a great maritime empire, the modern city has re-emerged as one of Europe’s most attractive destinations.

Lisbon’s history has been marked by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and tragedy. The Great Earthquake of 1755 was felt as far away as Scotland, and devastated the city. Fortunately it was rebuilt with flair, centred on wide boulevards and numerous squares with fountains.

Lisbon is set in a natural amphitheatre, surrounded by hills, and the harmonious blend of old and new has made it one of the most attractive cities in the world. Cable cars and traditional lift-towers link the upper and lower parts of the city. From vantage points such as the Castelo de São Jorge, perched on one of the hilltops, there are spectacular views over the tiled rooftops and the river Tagus.

Walking the famous black-and-white mosaic pavements or catching a tram are the best ways to see the many treasures of Lisbon, from its churches and museums to the narrow backstreets of the Alfama - Lisbon's oldest district – and the great Praça do Comércio, the riverfront square.

Stay at the Janelas Verdes, a beautifully restored 18th-century mansion overlooking the Tagus, or at The finest new hotel in Lisbon, this minimalist-styled property has an ideal position in the eponymous Bairro Alto district, home to cobbled streets and vibrant nightlife.

Fuel your sightseeing at Lisbon’s fantastic seafood restaurants, before enjoying the nightlife of this rejuvenated and atmospheric city.
