Lisbon is the perfect blend of old-world charm and cool, contemporary vibes. Wander through the narrow, cobbled streets of Alfama, where the soulful strums of Fado music fill the air, and the city’s iconic azulejos (decorative tiles) colour the buildings. Hop on tram 28 for a scenic ride past the best sights, like São Jorge Castle, where you can take in jaw-dropping views over the city and the Tagus River.
For those into modern culture, Portugal’s fabulous capital doesn’t disappoint. Check out the MAAT and the Calouste Gulbenkian for a dose of art and design, or stroll along the riverside, where the city’s trendy cafes, boutiques and bars are waiting. Don’t miss the famous pastéis de nata - you’ll find the creamiest custard tarts in the local pastry shops.
