The Portuguese capital is an illuminated city. The almost constant presence of sunshine and the River Tagus transforms Lisbon into a
mirror of a thousand colors - highlighting the city’s unique architecture and beauty. As you walk through Lisbon you find streets
filled with heritage monuments, and characteristic neighbourhoods where the city first developed and can still be experienced at its
most genuine level. Gothic cathedrals, majestic monasteries and quaint museums are all part of the colourful cityscape, but the real
delights of discovery lie in wandering the narrow lanes of Lisbon’s lovely backstreets.

Itinerary
Day 1
Lisbon
Upon arrival to Lisbon Airport you will be welcomed by our driver
and then transfer to the hotel. Rest of the day free to enjoy this
ancient and lovely city overlooking the Tagus River. Lisbon, a city
of contrasts, offering so much to discover and surprise, still
maintains the marks of its early history along with a rich cultural
mix being one of the most beautiful capitals of Europe. The World
Heritage Belem Tower is to Lisbon what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris
or Big Ben is to London. It is the city's most photographed
landmark, which along with the marvelous Jeronimos Monastery
should top your list of must-see monuments. But Lisbon's biggest
attraction is the city itself, a city that is not dressed up for the
tourist to see, but an authentic place that stands out in such an
homogeneous world. Although it boasts a range of must-see
sights, its biggest pleasures are its streetlife and setting, admired
from a pavement cafe, from the top of a hilltop miradouro, or
simply by wandering around the atmospheric "barrios." Not too
many other cities have such an intriguing mix of the old and the
new, or so many contrasting faces, making this a city for unhurried
exploration and a place to get lost in, discovering its many
distinctive sights and characteristic images. Overnight in Lisbon.
Day 2

Lisbon is Europe's second-oldest capital, once home to the world's greatest explorers like Vasco da Gama, Magellan and Prince Henry the Navigator, becoming the first true world city, the capital of an empire spreading over all continents.

Jorge. Gothic cathedrals, majestic monasteries and cosy museums are part of the colourful cityscape, but the real delights of discovery lie in wandering the narrow lanes of Lisbon’s lovely backstreets. As yellow trams wind their way through curvy tree-lined streets, you can stroll through the old quarters, as visitors done for centuries. Traditional village-life style in old Alfama district combines with fresh bread and wine at tiny patio restaurants as fadistas (fado, is Portugal’s traditio-nal melancholic singing) perform in the background. In the hilltop district of Bairro Alto, dozens of restaurants and bars line the narrow streets, with jazz, reggae, electronic music and fado filling the air. Option: HD private panoramic City tour instead of Hop on Hop off tour. Overnight in Lisbon.
