About Lissabon

Lissabon fällt von seinen Hügeln zum Tejo hinab: Kachelfassaden, rumpelnde gelbe Trams, Aussichtsterrassen und späte, gemütliche Abendessen.

In den alten Vierteln steckt der meiste Charme. Alfamas Gassengewirr steigt zur Burg São Jorge an und hallt abends vom Fado wider, das geordnete Raster der Baixa führt hinab zur weiten Praça do Comércio am Fluss, und Bairro Alto und Chiado verbinden tagsüber Buchläden und Cafés mit Bars bei Nacht. Aussichtspunkte wie Santa Luzia und Senhora do Monte rahmen rote Dächer und glitzerndes Wasser.

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