Why Lisbon?
Lisbon the city of seven hills
Lisbon is a city that has it all: stunning architecture, rich history, vibrant culture, and delicious food. It's a place where you can explore ancient castles, relax on beautiful beaches, and indulge in mouthwatering pastries. Whether you're wandering through the charming streets of Alfama or enjoying the view from the Belém Tower, Lisbon is sure to captivate your heart.
You can still see traces of ancient Lisbon today. Beyond the array of shops with international brands, peaceful streetside cafes selling the iconic pastel de nata and world class restaurants with a variety of global cuisine, you can still wander the seven hills and see the city from above, taking in the rolling terracotta rooftops, the whitewashed walls and on the horizon, the soft blue sea.
