Included in the spectrum of large European cities, the Capital of Portugal (Lisbon) harmoniously combines traditional and modern values and holds the position of a large Capital of culture and tourism. Traditional momuments linked to the essence of traditional poetry and Fado coexist with modern buildings and leisure-areas, satisfying even the most demanding travelers.

Lisbon is a city of many people and of different cultures and has a never ending supply of attractionsfor its visitors. Excellent hotels and restaurants, many cultural sights of interest, the well-known hospitality of its people and the seven hills full of history turn Lisbon into a unique city worth being discovered.

From the castle to the Bairro Alto, from Monsanto to the Parque das Nações, from Avenidas Novas to Belem, Lisbon has been submitted to changes which enhance the city´s requalification and the quality of life of its inhabitants and visitors.

Our advice is to buy a map and study it well before you go. Get familiar with the main streets and places. In a city like Lisbon, with so many places to see, you'll be saved from a lot of time (and energy) on searching.
