Whether you stay in traditional guesthouses, luxury hotels or B&B's, you will enjoy your stay. With great views, plenty of history and lots of beaches nearby, the city of Lisbon is a traveller’s delight. Sitting above the city of Lisbon the Castel de Sao Jorge is the best place to come for spectacular views out over the old city. From this vantage point 16th century explorers would have looked out to sea wandering what lay ahead. Here the River Tagus carves its way past the Belem fort and out into the Atlantic.
Once a port from which explorers set sail, people now flock here in order to explore the cities history. With many different cultures and people settling in the city over the years there is a mix of styles and buildings. With Roman churches, a cathedral, an Ottoman castle and various other buildings of interest, Lisbon has a lot to offer. Wander around the old streets of the Alfama and Bairro Alto districts which are full of vibrant colours, narrow streets and mediaeval walls.
As a modern European city, Lisbon has a great nightlife, from modern bars and clubs to local bars and restaurants. At night the Bairro Alto district is alive with the sound of Fado music which drifts out of the cafes and bars which line the streets. With converted warehouses now housing bars and clubs the dock area of the city has become popular with locals and visitors. Santa Apolonia is fast becoming the cities trendiest area, here the music is varied and the pubs and clubs are full of locals.
The Baixa district in Lisbon is a must for those who have come to shop. Here the little shops sell copper utensils, wicker baskets, woven lace and many other things. The Campo de Santa Clara has a market most days of the week, which is a good place to start looking for souvenirs. For those after designer goods there are plenty of up market boutiques offering goods from fashion houses such as Gucci and Armani. With so much to do a trip to Lisbon will always excite!
