Destacados

Discover the history of making tiles or "azulejos" in Lisbon. Lisbon's artisans have been making tiles since the 13th century. The first tiles were blue and white, then yellow and green. First, they were simple geometric shapes that covered blank spaces on walls. Later, they became more ornate, decorating church altars and depicting Portuguese history and culture. Today, they decorate restaurants, bars, railway stations, palaces, and homes. Every tourist brings home one or two tiles as souvenirs.

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.
