Why Go on a Tour of Lisbon
The most western capital of Europe, Lisbon, is an inspiring city that can’t leave anyone indifferent. Sunny landscapes of red roofs, white and blue facades, spires of gorgeous ancient cathedrals, multicolored ceramic azulejo and ships, peacefully passing under the red bridge over the River Tejo create a special vibe, making Lisbon a perfect place for long atmospheric walks.
A ride on a yellow tram up the hills is another highlight not to miss. The magical capital of Portugal is imbued with the quintessence of the old-romantic-movie-like sounds and saturated smells of salt, pine, fish, spices, coffee, and fresh pastries, making your head spin round and round!
An indispensable part of any Lisbon travel is getting to the End of the World, or Cabo da Roca, the place where the European continent ends with a wild rugged cliff giving place to the endless expanses of the Atlantic Ocean.
Regarding the most iconic attractions within the capital you should see during your Lisbon tour, it’s a must to visit the famous Belem Tower, the Discoverers Monument, the stunning Palace of Ajuda, and one of the best viewpoints in the city, São Jorge Castle, as well as the colorful Palace of the Marquesses of Fronteira.
Moreover, don't forget about a bunch of excellent museums and galleries, worth your attention as well. A nice addition to your journey may become a mouthwatering Lisbon food tour! As the majority of local cafes is family business, you have no chance of a bad eating-out experience. Exceptional seafood specialties, chicken "piri piri", tasty rice, sweet pastries, traditional port wine… the capital of Portugal has it all and even more!
