Less than an hour from Praia D’El Rey Europe’s westernmost capital, Lisbon is a world-class city combining magnificent cultural heritage with the pace and excitement of 21st century living.

Because of the city’s layout, you see bustling street life interspersed with great views at every turn. The best way to discover Lisbon is to get lost in its narrow streets and hilly avenues – but if walking becomes too tiring, Lisbon is a city of picturesque old trams, which are frequent, cheap and a good way to see your own sightseeing tour.

And the nightlife is definitely not to be missed. Start at sunset, finish at dawn; in between you can eat tapas and drink in one of the old quarter’s lively restaurants before moving on to a fado house to hear singing that’s the musical expression of the soul of Lisbon. Then pop into some of the best clubs in Europe and finish at one of the open-air cafes down by the river.
