Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is located on the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. This 2,800-year-old city is known as the "City of Seven Hills". The cobblestone alleyways of Alfama in the old town, the melancholy melodies of the Fado Music Hall, and the images of trolley buses jingling through the streets all speak of its romance and vicissitudes. In Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower (a World Heritage Site) bear witness to the splendor of the seafaring era, while the Portuguese egg tarts, born in the region, are a must-try for food lovers from all over the world. With its mild Mediterranean climate and long coastline, Lisbon is a fascinating mix of history, art and seaside vibrancy.
