| Lisbon Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Cabo da Roca (down rock) Cabo da Roca (down rock) R.Biedritis Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, is a fascinating city of old-fashioned and funky art, charming architecture, and traditions. It's one of Europe’s most enjoyable capitals with its relaxed atmosphere, cultural diversity, and reasonable prices. Lisbon is set on seven low hills next to the Tejo (Tagus) river. The city’s atmosphere is rich with wonderful old buildings, Europe’s longest suspension bridge, and fascinating museums and monuments. Despite the city’s muscle-aching hills, Lisbon is compact enough to explore on foot. If your legs get tired, Lisbon has very convenient bus, tram, and subway lines as well as funiculars to take you up the steeper hills. Taxis abound as well, and are perhaps the most reasonably priced in Europe. The capital of Portugal is currently in the middle of a building boom which began after it was chosen as the host city for Expo 98. Metro lines have been extended, mosaic sidewalks have been re-paved and 18th century facades have been restored. One of the most urgent works is the saving and restoration of the "Alfama", or old town. The city moves to pulsing new rhythms, as African music clubs are all the rage. Contrasting to this modern diversity, Portuguese fado songs continue to be heard; the soulful music (which originated here) is still hitting notes of passionate melancholy. Lisbon also hosts a great number of remarkable museums of ancient and modern art, some of which are the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, National Museum of Contemporary Art, National Coach Museum, and Carmo Archaeological Museum. A good way to orient yourself and enjoy a panoramic view is to climb one of the seven hills - Penha de França, Senhora do Monte, Graça, São Jorge, São Pedro Alcantara, Santa Catarina, and Estrela. São Jorge is topped by a famous castle, Castelo de São Jorge, and has the most spectacular picturesque view - especially as the sun sets over the Tagus river. Generally speaking, you can spend an unlimited time discovering and re-discovering this charming city; however if you are on a tight schedule, don't miss exploring the Alfama District, Bairro Alto, and Belem (see under sights for more information). Lisbon is really a wonderful place to explore, any time of the year. If you are lucky, the sky is blue and the sun is shining even in February and November. ____________Sights Edit This Monastery Jeronimos Monastery Jeronimos Matthew K The Alfama District - Lisbon’s oldest and most historical district, lies below the Castelo de São Jorge. The medieval streets and the incredible views from three of the seven hills of Lisbon - São Jorge, Graca and Senhora do Monte. The neighborhood is a maze of narrow alleyways and steep stairs. It is one of the few neighborhoods that was not totally destroyed by the devastating earthquake of 1755 and retains architectural elements of its Moorish past. The neighborhood is lively by day, but a bit seedy, and not recommended by night. The best way to get there is by taking tram no. 28 from Baixa into Alfama, the tramride is rewarding as it creaks and hisses up and down the hills, east to Alfama. If you take the tram west, you’ll arrive at Bairro Alto. The Bairro Alto was an up-scale neighborhood in the 17th century, now it is considered the heart of Lisbon’s thriving night life. Two funiculars (elevadors) provide transport up the steep hills to the district. If you take the Elevador da Glória, you will find yourself on one of the panoramic hills-the São Pedro de Alcântara, a wonderful place to be, even at night. Go to one of the many fado (Portugal blues) bars in the area-most of them are on Rua do Norte - and sip on a drink. It is worth the hefty cover (usually 2500$00) to experience the music, atmosphere and the drink. Another interesting outing is to check out the African music scene, such as Discoteca A Lontra on Rua de Aso Bento. There is also an excellent Japanese restaurant, serving sushi, in the area. Belém, about 20 minutes from Lisbon’s center by tram, was the departure point of most of the world-changing explorations, during the Age of Discoveries. There is a spectacular monastery (where Vasco da Gama is buried) and watch-tower are some of the few Manueline (Portuguese Renaissance & Gothic blend architecture) monuments to have survived the 1755 earthquake, completely undamaged. They have both been designated as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites and are must-sees if you are spending any time in Lisbon. The Tower of Belém, about 10 minutes walk from the monastery, is the symbol of Lisbon and the Age of Discoveries. Avoid Mondays, as everything is closed.

In this monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the monks of the Order of St. Jerome used to pray for the well being of the Portugese king's soul and for the succes of the sailors that discovered the world's seas in his name.

There are in the area of 25.000 creatures in the aquarium, fish and mammals, sharks included. There are other features of interest in the Expo area, the Park of the Nations, including a cable car to Lisbon's tallest building. Apparently this was mainly wasteland prior to the Expo! type: general World66 rating: [rate it] url: www.geocities.com Belém Tower Edit This photo As the architecture of the middle ages gradually changed into renaissance architecture, Portugal discovered the New World on the other side of the oceans. The incorporation of elements from the oversea cultures lead to a typical style called: the Manueline style, of which both the Tower of Belém and the Monastery of Jerónimos is a superb example. As a symbol of the King's prestige the tower’s decoration includes all the Manueline symbols - cables encircling the building and terminating in elegant knots, armillary spheres, crosses of the Military Order of Christ and more.. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] address: River Tejo border in Belem url: http: tel: +35 21 301 68 92 Metropolitano de Lisboa Edit This Two names are attached to the Lisboan metro network: Keil do Amaral and Maria Keil.

Originally built in Romanic style, the Gothic and Barroque styles result of enlargements of the 14th and 17th centuries. The cathedral was affected by several earthquakes, mainly by the 1755 one, that also destroyed large parts of the city.

It was housed for a time in the former Naval School and the Palace of the Count of Farrobo before making the symbolic transfer to Belém, for it was from Belém, not far from the chapel of Our Lady of Belém, that Vasco da Gama set sail for India, so when the museum was moved to this site an "old dream of the Navy" was fulfilled.

NB These are not 24 hour tickets but expire at 02.00 in the morning. One of the best ways to get to know the city is by trying out some tramlines. Lisbon still has a few old cars running through its small streets as well as some new ones to Belem. They seem to belong to a lost era and are really popular amongst both tourists and locals. In particular, it is worth taking tram number 28 for its entire journey. A large bus system connects all main attractions, that are not reachable by trams. Using the subway is a lot faster, but the view is of course not that fascinating and the recent subway net does first of all lead to the suburbs: neither the airport nor the main train stations or Belem are connected with it. You should actually use the metro for the beautiful tile decorations in the stations by sights.

There are four in total but two are worth taking for their own sake: The Elevador de Santa Justa is a large outdoor lift from the end of a road to a level about half way up - very picturesque. The Elevador de Gloria is a funicular up from near Rocio station to the Bairro Alto.

I prefer the slow regional By Train myself because then you have time to look out of the window and arrive gradually into town, without having to bother with traffic or parking place.

From Lisbon you can easily (recommended public transportation or bike) go to Sintra & Cascais OR Arrabida & Sesimbra, allow at least 1 day to the first two and another day for the last two locations. Within 2 hours of driving (some times up to 3 to 4 hours of public transportation) you have Obidos + Fatima + Batalha + Alcobaca + Tomar + Nazare or Evora.

It’s a place to visit for its mountain-top views toward the coast, the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais, the funky palace, tranquil convents, and lush gardens. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] South of the river Edit This Fishing harbour, Sesimbra Fishing harbour, Sesimbra photo by: davidx This could possibly be done in a shorter time with planning - but it is best not rushing and some of the transport links may involve delay. First take the longest ferry route across the river to Montijo. The trip is good but there's not a lot to see here so get a bus as soon as possible to Setubal. From here you can get a bus for a very pleasant ride to Sesimbra. You may well want to spend a bit of time here and it is good to take a local bus out to the fishing port and back. [If you are British, you may well wonder at the apparent prosperity of the industry here.] Then more.. World66 rating: [rate it] ___________Beaches Edit This Carcavelos Carcavelos Ruy Lisbon has several nearby beaches, and you can find it very hard not to go for a swim on the hot summer days. The fastest way to get there is to take the Linha do Estoril train at Cais do Sodré, there's a metro station over there. You should ride the train until Carcavelos which is the first beach washed by the open sea. But, if you're in the mood to walk a bit you must go all the way to Cascais and stroll through the most amazing scenery culminating in Guincho (of course you can take a taxi or a bus there too). Enjoy the sun and the unspoiled dunes and beaches!! [Add Beach] Costa da Caparica Edit This The best beaches around Lisbon are in Costa da Caparica. You can go by bus 75 - only in summer - but you can take the boat at Belem going to Trafaria and then take the bus to the beach. If you rent a car - cross the 25th April bridge...

And yet, down the hill at the open-air cafés, bars and discothèques, whose lights are reflected in the calm waters of the River Tagus, the night is still young. Why not also take advantage of Lisbon's special location and enjoy the white sand of the long ocean beaches, just a stone's throw from the Portuguese capital? Also to be found close by are a series of excellent golf courses, a casino, and the romantic town of Sintra, a paradise that has been magnificently set in the most beautiful landscape and has rightly been classified as world heritage. Nightlife is concentrated on the waterfront between the Docks and Avenida 24 de Julho, and in the Bairro Alto. For those wishing to see a show with more authentically Portuguese origins, the ideal choice is a Fado House in one of the city’s typical neighborhoods. Specifically for Gay&Lesbian population, you must have a drink at Bairro Alto, in the bar 7º Céu or Portas Largas an then have a little dancing at exclusively gay-populated Trumps (near Bairro Alto, at Príncipe Real) or at gay-friendly Frágil (at Bairro Alto) and Lux Frágil, wich is the most fashionable and famous disco of Lisbon (just a cab trip away). If you're more into the travestism scene, you must see the Finalmente's show, the most famous at Lisbon. You have some other little gay-oriented bars at the Príncipe Real area, like 106, Max or Bric-a-Bar, or the lesbian-targeted Memorial. Some gay saunas are available too, like Spartacus.

Lisbona |
| The historical quarters of Lisboa are
generally in the city centre. Some still retain the old
structures of Muslim and medieval origin, with courtyards
where people usually get together. The typical features
of these quarters are old houses, narrow streets, wrought-iron
balconies, tiled façades and a friendly, welcoming
atmosphere. The best and most pleasant way to visit these
quarters is by "eléctrico" (tram). And be sure
not to miss a stroll by the River Tagus and lunch at the
Santo Amaro docks. Alfama, Castelo and Mouraria The Alfama is one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa. Since it largely survived the earthquake of 1755, the area still retains much of its original layout. Adjacent to the Alfama are the likewise old quarters of Castelo and Mouraria, on the western and northern slopes of the hill that is crowned by St. George's Castle. Every year in June, the streets of all three quarters come alive with the feasts in honour of the popular saints. The Graça quarter and the churches of São Vicente de Fora and Santa Engrácia are within walking distance of this area. Bairro Alto, Chiado and Bica Laid out in the 16th century, the Bairro Alto (literally "high quarter") is one of the most picturesque quarters in the city. Its architecture, traditional shops, restaurants, bars and design and fashion stores give it a unique flair. It is also a popular meeting place for all nightlife lovers. The Chiado is an elegant shopping district. At the end of the 19th century, it became a fashionable meeting place for intellectuals such as Fernando Pessoa, Almada Negreiros and Eça de Queiroz. Their most famous haunt was the café "A Brasileira", which is still today favoured by the city's art students. The Bica quarter lies adjacent to the Bairro Alto and Chiado. In addition to its typical streets and houses, it is particularly renowned for its funicular lift, the Ascensor da Bica, built in 1892. Baixa/Rua Augusta One of Lisboa's busiest quarters. Many commuters who cross the Tagus pass through here every day on their way to work. It is also one of the city's biggest traditional shopping districts. Almost completely destroyed by the earthquake of 1755, the quarter was rebuilt by Marquês de Pombal, thus earning the name of "Baixa Pombalina". The original uniform, rectilinear architecture is still evident today. The names of the streets parallel to Rua Augusta still allude to the traders and craftsmen based in the area since the Age of the Discoveries. Belém Belém is linked to Portugal's Golden Age of Discoveries as the site where the famous navigators set sail to discover the world. Today it is a spacious green suburb with many gardens, parks and monuments that are well worth a visit. Amongst Belém's attractions are the Jerónimos Monastery, the Monument to the Discoveries, the Torre de Belém, the Belém Cultural Centre and Rua Vieira Portuense. *** Alto da Serafina In the Serafina Recreational Park, with views over the northern zone of the city.

Il ponte Vasco da Gama a Lisbona
Una via della città vecchia, verso il Castelo São Jorge Lisbona (Lisboa) è la capitale e anche la città più grande del Portogallo, con 564.657 abitanti (lisboneti, lisboetas), mentre l'area metropolitana ha più di 3 milioni di abitanti, pari a circa un terzo dell'intera popolazione portoghese.
[modifica]
StoriaLa città fu fondata dai fenici con il nome di Alis Ubbo. I romani la ribattezzarono Olisippo, nome che è diventato successivamente Olissipona, poi Lissapona e infine Lisboa. Nel VIII secolo la città fu conquistata dagli arabi provenienti dal Nord Africa e restò sotto la dominazione araba fina alla riconquista del primo re del Portogallo, Don Afonso Henriques, nel XII secolo. Dalla città partirono molte spedizioni nei secoli che vanno dal XV al XVII
all'epoca dei grandi viaggi di esplorazione. Lisbona è stata anche terreno per due rivoluzioni: la rivolta repubblicana del 5 ottobre 1910 e la rivoluzione dei Garofani del 25 aprile 1974. Inoltre, il 13 febbraio 1668, vi è stato firmato il Trattato di Lisbona, con cui la Spagna concesse l'indipendenza al Portogallo.
[modifica]
CulturaLisbona possiede numerose università pubbliche e private, biblioteche e musei, tra i quali il Museo Nazionale di Arte Antica, il Museo Calouste Gulbenkian e uno splendido Oceanario.
[modifica]
GeografiaLa città è situata alla foce del fiume Tago. Le due sponde del fiume Tago sono collegate da due grandi ponti, il Ponte 25 aprile inaugurato nel 1966 e il ponte Vasco de Gama, inaugurato nel 1998 in occasione della esposizione universale Expo '98. In quella occasione si sono celebrati i 500 anni della scoperta del passaggio marittimo per l'India da parte del navigatore Vasco da Gama.

Lisbona da passeggiareLisbona è una città molto pittoresca con un ridotto inquinamento e un ottimo sistema di trasporto pubblico basato sulla metropolitana [1]. E poi il Tago e l'Oceano le regalano una gran luce e grandi cieli, la popolazione è cortese e il cibo viene usualmente considerato di buona qualità, specialmente se si ama il pesce. Da segnalare tra le molte attrazioni vi sono:
Caratteristica di Lisbona è la musica del Fado, che si può ancora ascoltare dal vivo nella città vecchia. E per la vita notturna, non si può non bere una birra in uno dei tanti bar del frequentatissimo Bairro alto.
