Description

LISBON, PORTUGAL:
EUROPE’S CITY OF DISCOVERY

From its multicultural heritage to its food and nightlife,
Lisbon blends pleasures and treasures for all ages

Lisbon has become a magnet for young people, whether in the Bairro Alto neighborhood mingling in its clubs and restaurants, or gathering at pop-up food and entertainment malls by the waterfront. But the city also has cultural treasures that go back centuries and manifest a fascinating history dominated paradoxically by both deep religious belief and innovative genius in secular – and very mercantile – maritime exploration.

The city has a feeling of joyous reprieve and release – that whatever problems face Portugal and the world, its people enjoy the fruits of a good life, ready to be cheerfully shared with visitors to its capital city.
