About Lisboa

Lisboa renner ned åsene mot Tejos munning, en by med fliseklede fasader, rasslende gule trikker, utsiktspunkter og sene, rolige middager.

De gamle bydelene rommer det meste av sjarmen. Alfamas floke av smug klatrer opp mot Castelo de São Jorge og ekkoer av fado om kvelden, Baixas ryddige rutenett løper ned til det enorme Praça do Comércio ved elven, og Bairro Alto og Chiado blander bokhandler og kaféer om dagen med barer om natten. Utsiktspunkter som Santa Luzia og Senhora do Monte rammer inn røde tak og skinnende vann.

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