About Lisbonne

Lisbonne dévale ses collines jusqu'à l'estuaire du Tage : façades d'azulejos, tramways jaunes bringuebalants, miradouros et dîners tardifs sans hâte.

Les vieux quartiers concentrent l'essentiel du charme. L'enchevêtrement de ruelles de l'Alfama grimpe vers le château Saint-Georges et résonne de fado le soir, la grille ordonnée de la Baixa descend jusqu'à la vaste place du Commerce, au bord du fleuve, et le Bairro Alto et le Chiado mêlent librairies et cafés le jour, bars la nuit. Des miradouros comme Santa Luzia et Senhora do Monte encadrent les toits rouges et l'eau scintillante.

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