About Lisbona

Lisbona scende dalle sue colline fino al Tago: facciate di azulejos, tram gialli sferraglianti, belvedere e cene tarde senza fretta.

I quartieri antichi racchiudono la maggior parte del fascino. Il groviglio di vicoli dell'Alfama sale al Castello di São Jorge e la sera risuona di fado, la griglia ordinata della Baixa scende fino alla vasta Praça do Comércio sul fiume, e il Bairro Alto e il Chiado alternano librerie e caffè di giorno a locali di notte. Belvedere come Santa Luzia e Senhora do Monte inquadrano tetti rossi e acque scintillanti.

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