Portugal - Lisbon & Around (Chapter)

Lisbon has captivated visitors for centuries. Windswept vistas reveal the city in all its beauty: Roman and Moorish ruins, white-domed cathedrals, grand plazas lined with sun-drenched cafes. The real delight of discovery, though, is delving into the city’s narrow cobblestone lanes.

Coverage includes: Lisbon, History, Sights, Activities, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping, Sintra & Around, Cascais, Estoril, Queluz, Mafra, Setúbal Peninsula, Costa Caparica, Setúbal, Sesimbra, Aldeia do Meco and Cabo Espichel.

- get lost in the narrow village-like lanes of the Alfama, searching for the soul of fado

- bar-hop your way through the cobblestone streets of nightlife-loving Bairro Alto

- take in the pleasant outdoor cafes and restaurants of elegant Chiado
