Lisbon

Our opinion about Lisbon

Lisbon's rich cultural history and Mediterranean climate make it a popular holiday destination for travellers of all types. Situated on the north banks of the River Tagas, the Portugeuse capital has a distinctly urban atmosphere, brimming with interesting architecture from renovated palaces to Gothic cathedrals. These impressive buildings include the stunning Castle of Sao Jorge, a Moorish pinnacle of the city, with burnt orange walls dating back to the ninth century. The castle is visible from almost every street in Lisbon’s colourful neighbourhoods.
