About Lisboa

Lisboa desce das colinas até ao estuário do Tejo: fachadas de azulejo, elétricos amarelos, miradouros e jantares tardios sem pressa.

Os bairros antigos concentram a maior parte do encanto. O emaranhado de ruelas de Alfama sobe até ao Castelo de São Jorge e à noite ecoa de fado, a malha ordenada da Baixa desce até à vasta Praça do Comércio, junto ao rio, e o Bairro Alto e o Chiado misturam livrarias e cafés de dia com bares à noite. Miradouros como o de Santa Luzia e o da Senhora do Monte enquadram telhados vermelhos e águas cintilantes.

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