Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and the largest city in the country. With over 2.5 million inhabitants, it is the westernmost of all European capitals.

But these aren’t just new projects that tourists love. The city will captivate you with its old-fashioned charm and a rustic vibe. St. George’s Castle is a magnificent medieval quarter. Old wooden trams ran through the streets. Art déco cafe’s, and mosaic-adorned sidewalks will help you feel the atmosphere of the city. It destroyed many historic sites in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. But many remain and are now as popular with tourists as modern buildings such as the Lisbon Oceanarium.
Near to the city, tourists can enjoy several sandy beaches. Costa da Caparica, Estoril and Cascais, the forests of Sintra, and the wonderful MAFRA Monastery. Lisbon is full of a relaxed, lively, confident, fresh, and modern spirit.
