Welcome to Lisbon! The city is alive and pulsing, and there is a lot to see and a lot to do! We know it almost as well as all the little quirks of our business — after all, this is our home, and it holds a special place in our heart. So we thought we would help you by showing you where everything that matters is, and how to really make the best out of your time with us!
Lisbon is often flaunted as one of the world’s most warm and charming cities, of the world! Before you head off, here are some quick facts you should know: #1 Oldest City
Lisbon is the oldest city in Western Europe, predating London, Paris and even Rome.
#2 City of the 7 Hills
Much like Rome, Lisbon was built on uneven terrain, and is known as the city of the 7 hills.
#3 Longest Bridge
The Vasco da Gama Bridge is the longest in Europe, measuring 17 km from end to end.
#4 Sun
Lisbon has one of the mildest climates in Europe. The city is sunny throughout the year, with an annual average of 2900-3300 hours of sunshine.
#5 European Champions
Portugal has great tradition in Football, having had great players like Eusébio, Coluna or Figo. We are the current European Champions, with a team led by the great Cristiano Ronaldo.
#6 Pastéis de Nata
These little custard tarts are internationally acclaimed and delicious Lisbon delicacies! More than 7 million are baked each year, and you can’t really afford not to taste one.
