Lisbon

About Lisbon

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, sits on the northern bank of the Tagus estuary and is home to around 546,000 people, making it one of the oldest cities in Western Europe. Its seven hills shape a distinctive skyline, while the riverside district of Belém concentrates several landmarks from the Age of Discovery, including the Belém Tower, the Jerónimos Monastery, and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos. The broad Praça do Comércio opens directly onto the river, the historic Tram 28 winds through the old quarters, and Pastéis de Belém draws visitors with its long-established custard tarts.
