About Lisbon

Portugal’s capital city oozes laid-back charm and character. It’s less touristy than other European capital cities, meaning you can live more like a local – strolling through the cobbled streets of its historic neighbourhoods, relaxing on sun-drenched beaches, meandering through markets, or losing yourself in the city’s vibrant nightlife scene.

Discover the city’s oldest district in Alfama, with secret squares, ancient churches, quaint local taverns, and picturesque alleyways that wind their way up to São Jorge castle. To experience Lisbon’s stunning coastline, head to Cascais – a picturesque coastal town with pristine shores, crystal-clear waters and a beautiful promenade. Or venture to Sintra for a more dramatic coastal landscape. This UNESCO World Heritage site is most famous for its fairytale palaces and enchanting forests, but it's also home to some of the region’s most breathtaking beaches.

Lisbon is also the perfect city for foodies. It’s famous for its pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard tarts), but its culinary status has soared in recent years – fresh, innovative and affordable food, attracting visitors from all over Europe. Thanks to its coastal location, you’ll find lots of seafood, which is best enjoyed at a local tasca – relaxed restaurants that serve Portuguese classics with a modern twist.
