Lisbon, Portugal - The Coolest Capital of EuropeJerry Daperro
Situated by the western shore of Europe, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Portugal has always been a land apart, on the fringe, sometimes the forgotten hem of Europe. Its identity as an separated nation had established its frontiers as long ago as the 13C, even though there are no insurmountable barriers separate it from Spain. The independent spirit of this small country, was to turn into the unknown world, with its discovery of the sea route to India. It became the first global empire and sea routes connect Portugal to all parts of the world. Began in the early 20C, Portugal began to transform itself into a modern. This proved to be a long journey. In 1910 the monarchy was overthrown. Portugal existed briefly as a republic. Then followed by 40 years of repressive dictatorship. Since 1976 Portugal has finally free itself and became a democracy. In 1986. it joined the European Community. Now for the first time in 500 years, Portugal began to look to a future within Europe.
Today Portugal has recovered from the deficit financing policy. It has a surplus in 2016 and the country is enjoying “sustained strong growth”. Today its service sector makes up three quarters of the gross value added (GVA), provided a quarter of the jobs. Fisheries and agriculture has 22% of the GVA and providing 25% of the jobs.
Lisbon's most impressive attraction is the city itself. It is a testament to the romance of the past, and an aesthetically seductive place that forces contemplation in every one of its hills.

Explore Torre de Belém and the neighborhood
Belém is a well-known district in Lisbon. Although not being very central, it's accessible
through riding tram number 15 at the Cais do Sodré station.
2. Everything of Lisbon's most historic areas is a must-see. The Belém Tower and the Jerónimos
Monastery are unquestionably must-sees in Lisbon. The Jerónimos Monastery is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, and it is a stunning feat of architecture (the cloisters are
impressive). You may visit the main church for free, however, the monastery has an
admission charge of 10 euros.
Lisbon's most prominent structure, Belém Tower, was originally designed to protect the city.
Visit the tower and enjoy beautiful views of the Tagus River, the April 25 bridge, and Christ
the Redeemer. Today, this is how prominent it is. Adventurers like Vasco da Gama would
have noticed it as they sailed out into the huge Atlantic Ocean as left the city.
Step into the Alfama District
Regardless of whether you burn calories by going uphill on Tram 28 or stand in line with
tram riders, a visit to the scenic Alfama is an absolute must things to do in Lisbon. Alfama is
noted for its small, cobblestone alleyways that weave through many picturesque and ancient
buildings, including several traditional Fado clubs. St. George's Castle, Sé Cathedral, and the
LâDFeira de Ladra are all situated in Alfama.
Travelers arrive in droves to observe the neighborhood's well-known attractiveness, and
many believe that here is the ideal spot to discover Lisbon. One tip to remember: Plan to
spend at least a half-day to take it all in. Instead of using a map, travel the colorful alleys, sit
3. in an alleyway, or go to one of the numerous vantage points to admire the popular Miradouro
de Santa Luzia or the Miradouro Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen.
Alfama is near two metro stations. Lisboa Santa Apolonia is situated farther away, yet it is
the closest station to the bottom.
Ride Tram 28 to reach Alfama
London has red double-decker buses, whereas Lisbon has cable cars. Tram 28, which spans
from Martim Moniz to Campo Ourique, provides a tourist-friendly route. Riding Tram 28 is
one of the top things to do in Lisbon.
It goes via major areas in town, including Baixa, Bairro Alto, and Graça, as well as
landmarks like St. George's Castle and Alfama. To the automobiles themselves, they're also
important aspects of the experience. A few of Lisbon's trams, notably the 28 lines, dating
back to the WWII era, so don't anticipate air conditioning or a quiet and pleasant ride. The
tourists claimed it's all part of the tram's beauty.
It is suggested that travelers take the tram up the steep Alfama hill, and then walk back down
to see the area. Trams are often packed, so come early or later in the day to avoid waiting in
large queues. It is popular with visitors, which attracts pickpockets. Never leave valuables
unattended, particularly cameras.
4. Go Up Miradoures
One of the most popular things to do in Lisbon is to take in the view from one of the city's
many Miradoures. At night, especially after sunset, the Miradouro So Pedro de Alcantara [R.
de So Pedro de Alcantara, reachable by the Gloria funicular] becomes extremely crowded
with students who congregate here.
There are many miradouros worth seeing in Lisbon, including the Miradouro da Graça
[Calçada da Graça, accessible by tram 28], from which you can obtain a wonderful view of
the city and the fortress of Sao Jorge. In addition, an open-air café with a view is available for
you to relax in.
Discover the history of the Monastery of Jerónimos
5. Just one look at the beautiful spires and huge carvings of the famous Monastery of Jerónimos,
one of the city's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is tucked near to the banks of the Tagus
River, which should be enough to determine the reason for its existence.
It was constructed to commemorate Portugal's most brilliant period, known as "The Age of
Exploration." A fusion of architectural patterns known as the Manueline style bears witness
to the civilizations met by Lisbon's explorers, the money required to construct the tower was
derived from Portugal's worldwide commerce in spices such as cloves, cumin, and exotic
herbs.
Beautiful Sintra
6. With the likes of British poet Lord Byron and Portuguese poet Luis Vaz de Cames praising
Sintra's beauty in literature, it has been dubbed a "beautiful Eden" by Byron. Sintra lies
approximately 20 miles northwest of downtown Lisbon. With its rolling hills cloaked in
bright greenery and fairytale-like mansions split by cobblestone pathways, the little city is a
real paradise on Earth. That's why traveling to Sintra is one of the top things to do in Lisbon.
The Palácio Nacional de Pena, a colorful structure that was constructed as a romantic
hideaway for Queen Maria II and her husband, is the centerpiece of the show. Additionally,
the Palacio Nacional de Sintra (National Palace of Sintra), whose azulejo-decorated interiors
more than compensate for its plain exteriors, the Monserrate Palace (Monastery of the
Moors), the Castle of the Moors, and the Quinta da Regaleira are all worth seeing. More than
that, the whole city has been declared by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site.
Visiting the numerous gorgeous palaces, villas, and castles that Sintra has to offer was a
highlight for many tourists. However, travelers should have plenty of energy and a strong pair
of shoes, since the region is highly mountainous and requires walking.
You may take the rail from the Rossio rail station in Lisbon to Sintra to go from there. The
trip takes around 30 minutes, with the final stop being the Sintra station. You might either
drive yourself (though parking may be difficult) or take one of the local buses; the No. 434
provides service to the most popular sights in the region.
Stop at St George’s Castle
7. Unquestioned landmark of Lisbon's historic core is St George's Castle. The enormous fortress
has been in existence for about 2,000 years and was erected by the Romans originally.
After this, it was developed by succeeding Berber and Reconquista knights in the city. This
castle contains a dry moat and palisades for you to examine, as well as anti-siege measures.
Notice the country's monarchic might with the Portuguese royal seal.
Short Trip to Cascais
Cascais is a 45-minute rail travel west of Cais do Sodré Station in Lisbon (the green line). In
the 1900s, Cascais became a fashionable retreat for the wealthy and regal. In the past,
European vacationers flocked to this city for cheap, fun in the sun. A luxury resort might be a
perfect conclusion to your Lisbon visit.
There is plenty to do here. Have a look around the ancient town, the numerous historic forts
that served to ward off pirate invasions, or just take it easy on the beach.
Small, lovely, and typically the Mediterranean, search out the Queen's Beach at Praia da
Rainha. Conceição Beach is less than five minutes from the railway station as well as
Duquesa Beach. Take the scenic drive to Praia do Guincho, which is approximately 5 miles
north of the city center. Boca do Inferno (lookout point) located inside Cascais' city center.
8. The National Tile Museum (Museu Nacional
do Azulejo)
Most ceramic enthusiasts agree that Portugal is a great spot to get tiles. The tile museum in
Lisbon is devoted to anything fired in a kiln. Tile manufacturing and its related technologies
were initially introduced to Iberia by the Moors. Everyone loves the blue-tinted azulejos.
The country's ceramic artistry was established by these great ceramic works of art. You'll see
everything—sizes, patterns, and the many themes used to decorate their blue bodies. So, a
visit to the museum is among the best things to do in Lisbon.

workspace. This is a model of urban redevelopment beneath a railway line. LXF recycled a
forgotten location, creating a pleasant hangout. independent businesses, fashion boutiques,
