Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal and is “blessed” by being the only European capital to be located close to beautiful sandy beaches. Although generally not as warm as in the south of the country, the coast still offers opportunities for tourists to explore the little coves and dune backed sands that are prevalent in this region. Lisbon is a picturesque port city that is rich in architecture and includes a collection of building styles from the Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Modern and post modern periods.

The oldest part of the city is the Alfama quarter which still retains its medieval feel as it contains many important historical attractions like the 16th century Castle of Sao Jorge which provides the best views of the city.
One of Lisbon’s favourite attractions is Belem Tower which was completed in 1520. Initially it was built as a fortified lighthouse to safeguard the harbour, but today it serves as a monument to Portugal’s Age of Discovery and also offers some fantastic views of the area.
The most famous museums in Lisbon are:
The National Coach Museum, which contains the largest and most valuable collection of royal coaches in the world. It is housed in an 18th century royal riding school that is part of Belem Tower and has a staggering display of the most ostentatious and richly gilded carriages that once portrayed the wealth of the old Portuguese aristocrats.
The Museum of Portuguese-style Tile Mosaics, which is the only collection of its kind in the world, contains a marvellous selection of tiles from as early as the 15th century.
The Lisbon Oceanarium is also one of the largest aquariums in the world and it has a vast collection of fish, mammals and seabirds that literally transports you to another planet.
The Gulbenkian Museum is one of the world's greatest establishments for housing a magnificent collection of Greek, Egyptian, Asian, Roman, Islamic and European art.
The Design and Fashion Museum is again one of the world’s leading museums of twentieth century design.
When travelling the streets in Lisbon, try using the charming and clanking vintage trams to reach your destination, especially if it ends up at one of the many hill top avenues. Failing that you can also use the funiculars of Bica and Gloria to reach the upper quarters of the city.
Lisbon has a Mediterranean climate that is strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream which makes it one of the warmest climates in Europe. The summers therefore are long, hot and dry with many hours of sunshine throughout the rest of the year as well.
