About Lisbon:
If you’re dreaming about your next
trip to Europe, come and discover Lisbon, a historical city full of stories to
tell, where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops
below 15oC. A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the
cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved
bacalhau (salted cod), and where you’ll find hotels and restaurants to suit
every taste, budget and requirement. Discover Lisbon, a city full of
authenticity where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural
entertainment and hi-tech innovation. Lisbon is ageless, but it loves company,
as you’ll find out if you meet someone and ask them to explain, with lots of
gestures and repetition, where the best place is to listen to Fado. After all,
Lisbon is famous for its hospitality and the family-like way it welcomes
visitors.
