Lisbon(opens in a new window), Portugal(opens in a new window)

Lisbon perfectly balances its traditional Portuguese roots with the highlights of a modern city. A thriving hub for culture, gourmet cuisine, beaches and architecture, it’s easy to see why the Portuguese capital is a red-hot destination. Home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites, Lisbon’s top attractions include the historic Belém Tower (along with delicious Portuguese tarts nearby); and the 16th-century Jerónimos monastery, a breathtaking monument of deep historical and cultural significance. City slickers can take a trip up the Santa Justa Lift, hit the beach for some sun and sand and indulge in gourmet cuisine at some of the finest restaurants in the world.

Things to do in Lisbon

Bairro Alto(Opens in a new window)

Bairro Alto is a central district of the city of Lisbon, the Portuguese capital. Unlike many of the civil parishes of Lisbon, this region can be commonly explained as a loose association of neighbourhoods, with no formal local political authority but social and historical significance to the urban community of Lisbon.

Jerónimos Monastery(Opens in a new window)

The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery, is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus river in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal; it was secularised on 28 December 1833 by state decree and its ownership transferred to the charitable institution, Real Casa Pia de Lisboa.

Belém Tower(Opens in a new window)

Belém Tower or the Tower of St Vincent is a fortified tower located in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (along with the nearby Jerónimos Monastery) because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime discoveries of the era of the Age of Discoveries. The tower was commissioned by King John II to be part of a defence system at the mouth of the Tagus river and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon.

Alfama(Opens in a new window)

The Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the São Jorge Castle and the Tejo river. Its name comes from the Arabic Al-hamma, meaning "hot fountains" or "baths". The district includes the freguesias (parishes) of São Miguel, Santo Estêvão, São Vicente de Fora and part of the two streets, "Freguesia da Sé: Rua do Barão" and "Rua São João da Praça". It contains many important historical attractions, as well as an abundance of Fado bars and restaurants.
