About Lissabon

Lissabon rinner ner för sina kullar mot Tejos mynning, med kaklade fasader, skramlande gula spårvagnar, utsiktsplatser och sena, lugna middagar.

De gamla kvarteren rymmer det mesta av charmen. Alfamas virrvarr av gränder klättrar mot Castelo de São Jorge och ekar av fado på kvällen, Baixas ordnade rutnät löper ner till det väldiga Praça do Comércio vid floden, och Bairro Alto och Chiado blandar bokhandlar och caféer på dagen med barer på natten. Utsiktsplatser som Santa Luzia och Senhora do Monte ramar in röda tak och glittrande vatten.

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