Trip to Lisbon

Lisbon is the largest city in Portugal and the westernmost capital in Europe. Beyond it there is only the boundless Atlantic Ocean. Many travelers may compare a trip to Lisbon with a journey to the edge of the world, but the fact remains – unlike in other European capitals, there is no overwhelming flood of vacationers here. Even so, there is plenty to see: narrow streets with vintage trams, picturesque hills covered with the tiled roofs of colorful houses, and all of it set against the endless azure expanses of the ocean!

And of course there are sights as well. Not very many of them remain after the powerful earthquake and tsunami of 1755, but they are still here: the cathedral, Saint George's Castle, Belém Tower, as well as numerous monuments, squares, and palaces. Yet, strangely enough, it is not so much these landmarks that attract travelers as the incomparable atmosphere of lightness, fun, endless celebration, and warmth that reigns here almost all year round.
