Lisbon, Portugal Travel Guide - What To See & Do

Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Lisbon, Portugal.

The capital of Portugal, Lisbon (Portuguese: Lisboa) has experienced a renaissance in recent years, with a contemporary culture that is alive and thriving and making its mark in today's Europe. Perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon is one of the rare Western European cities that face the ocean and uses water as an element that defines the city. 

Lisbon enchants travelers with its white bleached limestone buildings, intimate alleyways, and an easy going charm that makes it a popular year round destination. Like Amman, Rome, and San Francisco, Lisbon is built on seven hills.
