Lisbon City Breaks

Lisbon is a city of great beauty with an excellent nostalgic and historic atmosphere. It is no coincidence that Lisbon belongs to the most popular destinations for a city break. Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and is beautifully located on the north bank of the river Tagus just before the river joins the Atlantic Ocean.

In Lisbon you can enjoy breathtaking views over the river Tagus and the Atlantic Ocean. Climb one of the seven hills on which Lisbon is built and get an amazing overview of the city. You can spend hours wandering through the picturesque quarters while listening to the melancholic sounds that come out of the fado houses and linger through the small winding alleys. In Lisbon you can also visit impressive tourist attractions like the Praça do Comércio, the National Pantheon and the Santa Justa Elevator. Especially the voyages of exploration of the famous Portuguese navigators play an important role in the long and rich history of Lisbon. Monuments that still reflect the prosperity of these glory days are the Jerónimos Monastery, the Belém Tower and the Monument of Discoveries.

Lisbon is a great destination for a city break in every season of the year. The mild temperatures in winter will not keep you from discovering the city. Even in summer, when the temperatures in the rest of the country can climb up between 30ºC and 40ºC, Lisbon will stay very agreeable because of the cooling summer breeze from the Atlantic Ocean. Do you as a matter of fact know that Lisbon is one of the few capitals in the world that are nearby the beach? There is no better city break destination than Lisbon if you want to combine your city break with a holiday on the beach!
