Lisbon - The illuminated city


One of the oldest cities in the world, Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal. Quite literally, the name means ‘enchanting port’ and it certainly lives up to its name with constant sunshine throughout the year and fascinating sites all over the city.

Lisbon has archaeological ruins that date back to over 300,000 years, giving the city a unique setting and beauty. Situated on the Atlantic coast where the river Tagus flows into the ocean, the historic centre of Lisbon is built upon seven hills giving incredible views in every direction.

Nearby resorts such as Sintra promise forests, palaces and dozens of beaches ensuring that there is plenty to do for everyone. There are so many things to see and do in Lisbon that you will have access to a wide variety of different experiences.
