Welcome to Lisbon!
As the political, economic, cultural, culinary, and spiritual capital of Portugal, Lisbon has both old world charm and modern convenience. With its amazing cuisine, pristine beaches, pleasant weather, thriving art district and historic sites, Lisbon has something for every curious traveler.
From imposing São Jorge Castle, the view encompasses the old city’s pastel-colored buildings, Tagus Estuary and Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge. Nearby, the National Azulejo Museum displays 5 centuries of decorative ceramic tiles. Just outside Lisbon is a string of Atlantic beaches, from Cascais to Estoril.
Of course, one cannot mention Portugal without discussing the cuisine! From street vendors, to open markets, to Michelin starred restaurants, Lisbon offers an unsurpassed and sensational culinary journey with a taste experience that is guaranteed to delight. Known for its fresh seafood, superb pastries, unique spices and unrivaled olive oil, Portugal’s local cuisine is a “must taste” experience. The dining options are limitless, night and day and sure to delight even the most discerning palates.
While you are here, make sure you try one (though you probably won’t be able to eat just one) pastéis de nata (puff pastry with sweet yellow custard), indulge in a cataplana de marisco (seafood feast), and make sure to treat yourself to a cozido à portuguesa (traditional Portuguese boiled dinner).
