Lisbon

The Portuguese capital Lisbon is very populous, lively and one of the oldest cities in the world. Time has threaded different monuments into the city’s rich history since the Neolithic period. Structures such as São Jorge Castle, The Palace of Queluz, Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower have stood the test of time and witnessed the greatest political and religious turmoil. The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooks the city, Ascensor da Bica cable railway brings action and Pastel de nata or the custard tarts with Ginja berries liqueur complete the nostalgia. Vasco da Gama Tower and Parque das Nações are exemplary modern gems. Praça do Comércio or The Square of Commerce binds the Portuguese life to open air.
