Grilled Sardines & Belém Tarts
From grilled sardines to Belém Tarts, Lisbon?s food is as welcoming as its people. Sardines, a national treat in Portugal, are a specialty in Lisbon where they are prepared streetside over charcoal grills & served with Vinho Verde (green wine).
Sintra & Pena National Palace
Sintra & Pena National Palace
Sintra, situated in the mountains west of Lisbon, is dominated by fanciful Palacio da Pena, a royal summer palace with lovely gardens & a breathtaking view. It now houses the world?s best collection of Mudejar Azulejos (glazed tiles).
Lisbon is one of the most enchanting capital cities in Europe. It has experienced a renaissance in recent years, with a contemporary culture that is alive and thriving and making its mark in modern Europe. Perched on the Atlantic, its sense of weathered grandeur set within a natural amphitheatre of hills, together with its breathtaking views across the River Tagus is hard to match. Traditional street festivities, the most sunny blue skies in Western Europe & good weather bless this city nearly year-round. Its a city mixed with old traditions yet reinventing itself in its modern architecture & the need for a vibrant, fast-paced city life. Lisbon is full of rich customs, great cuisine, friendly locals & all sung to the soulful beat of Fado music.
