About Lisbon
Lisbon sits dramatically on seven hills overlooking the Tagus river. Its pastel-colored buildings, melancholic Fado music, iconic yellow trams, and legendary pastéis de nata make it one of Europe's most charming capitals.
How to Explore
Explore the historic Alfama district on foot to experience narrow winding alleys and steep hills. Utilize the iconic yellow Tram 28 to navigate major landmarks across the city center. Take a day trip to Sintra by train to see the fairytale castles and lush estates.
