Location
Lisbon
Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal, set along the Atlantic coast where the Tagus River meets the sea. It is one of Europe’s oldest cities, with roots going back to Roman times and a long history as a major maritime power.
The city is known for its historic neighborhoods like Alfama, where narrow streets, tiled buildings, and traditional Fado music reflect its older character. After the 1755 earthquake, much of central Lisbon was rebuilt, giving the city its mix of historic charm and structured downtown areas. Landmarks such as the Belém Tower and the nearby Jerónimos Monastery highlight its Age of Discoveries past, when Portugal was a global seafaring power.
Today, Lisbon is a lively, walkable city with scenic viewpoints, trams, markets, and a growing food and cultural scene, blending historic identity with a modern European feel.
