Planning your visit
- Overview
- Castelo de Sao Jorge The crown on top of the hill, originally built by the Moors and one of the most peaceful spots in the city.
- Monument to the Discoveries An impressive building dedicated to Portugal’s golden age of discovery.
- Alfama district The oldest district in Lisbon: a clutch of ancient houses, churches, squares and narrow cobbled streets that clings to the hillside.
- Bairro Alto With the ruins of the Convento do Carmo it is testament to the 1755 earthquake's ferocity.
- Jerónimos Monastery A masterpiece of Manueline architecture and the cultural centre of Belém.
- The statue of Christ the King Towering above the city and overlooking the April 25th bridge that links the north of Portugal to the south.
- Whilst in Belem pop into a Portuguese bakery where Pasteis de Belem (Small fresh custard tarts seasoned with cinnamon) have been traditionally made for over 150 years. Sample a freshly cooked Pasteis de Belem, they are heavenly!
- Fado is the music of ancient Lisbon and famous throughout the country. During the evenings you can visit one of the many Fado bars and restaurants (enjoy a small glass of Port or beer) and listen to the local Fado singers accompanied by classical guitar passionately expressing themselves through this hypnotic music.
Located at the mouth of the Rio Tejo (River Tagus), the city has rich gastronomy influenced both by the sea and its imperial history. In the streets you'll smell smoky, roasting chestnuts and freshly baked custard tarts, and in the restaurants they’ll serve up bacalhau (salted cod), fresh sardines or cozido (a tasty meat stew).
Wash your meal down with the young vinho verde wine, the fiery after dinner ginginha. Or try a glass of port sipped with some of the wonderfully strong goat and sheep cheeses which are usually eaten before or after the main dish.
Shopping
Lisbon has an alluring profusion of boutiques, markets, regular street shops and large shopping centers. In Baixi-Chiado district particularly along the Rua Augusta there is a mix of international chain stores, as well as small traditional shops selling leather goods, jewellery and handicrafts. For funky boutiques and off beat fashions and if antiques are your passion pay a visit to Bairro Alto.

All our hotels are centrally located within the city with easy access to all the main tourist attractions.
