Lisbon Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Coasts, castles, and beaches come with a stay in Lisbon (Lisboa in Portuguese). The warmest and westernmost capital in Europe, Lisbon rises on seven hills situated along the Tejo River and its confluence with the Atlantic Ocean. The port made Lisbon—and Portugal—powerful in the 15th century; during this "Age of Discovery," ships sailed from Lisbon's harbor to the New World in search of gold and glory.
