About Lissabon

Lissabon vælter ned ad sine bakker mod Tejos munding, en by med kakkelklædte facader, raslende gule sporvogne, udsigtspunkter og sene, rolige middage.

De gamle kvarterer rummer det meste af charmen. Alfamas virvar af stræder klatrer op mod Castelo de São Jorge og genlyder af fado om aftenen, Baixas ordnede gadenet løber ned til det enorme Praça do Comércio ved floden, og Bairro Alto og Chiado blander boghandlere og caféer om dagen med barer om natten. Udsigtspunkter som Santa Luzia og Senhora do Monte indrammer røde tage og skinnende vand.

Top-ranked sights in Lissabon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
