Lisbon sits on the north bank of the Rio Tejo, 15 km from the Atlantic Ocean, nestling beautifully among seven small hills - each with miradouros (vantage points) that offer wonderful views of the city and the river. Lisbon's long experience of contact with other cultures in the form of exploitation, exchange, or a messy combination of the two, has marked it deeply. And after the transformations and migrations of recent years, a capital that centuries ago was a world city - perhaps the first of it's kind - is finally becoming one again.
Key areas
The party part of Lisbon is called Bairro Alto - dotted with Fado bars, restaurants and interesting little shops with fashion and design. Baixa is the posh city centre with elegant squares, streets and avenues and a lot of pedestrian shopping and café life.
Must dos while in Lisbon
1 Take the tram no. 12 from Praca do Comércio uphill through the Alfama and see the Castelo de São Jorge with amazing views. And the no. 28 from Martim Moniz square through, Graca, Chiado, Madragoa and Estrela all the way to Prazeres cemetery. 2. Have a drink at the top of the Elevador de Santa Justa on a quiet evening. 3. Go for a traditional meal with fado song - and Portugise melancology. 4. Royal fairytales on 4 wheels - see the breathtaking coaches in Museo Nacional de Coaches. 5. Try the famed small custard pies “pasteis de nata” with a cup of – supposedly – Europes best coffee. 6. For royal maritime means of transport see the 250 years old barges in the Museo da Marinha.
