About Lisboa

Lisboa baja por sus colinas hasta el Tajo: fachadas de azulejos, tranvías amarillos, miradores y cenas tardías sin prisa.

Los barrios antiguos guardan la mayor parte del encanto. El laberinto de callejas de la Alfama sube hasta el castillo de San Jorge y por la noche resuena con fado, la cuadrícula ordenada de la Baixa baja hasta la amplia Praça do Comércio junto al río, y el Bairro Alto y el Chiado mezclan librerías y cafés de día con bares de noche. Miradores como Santa Luzia y Senhora do Monte enmarcan tejados rojos y aguas brillantes.

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