Lisbon, like Rome, lies on seven hills. You will visit monuments, churches and museums. From Alfama (the city's oldest district) to the Maritime Discoveries Museum, Belem Tower, Jeronimos Monastery and the Coach Museum. Tree-lined avenues, beautiful gardens, squares with decorated pavements, and patterned tile walls will fascinate you. Stop in the superb shops, colorful markets or at one of the sidewalk cafes. An included Farewell dinner features Fado music. Also included are side trips to Sintra's Royal Palace, Cascais and Estoril (once a favored by exiled royalty). Another trip takes in medieval Obidos, Nazare, Batalha and the Sanctuary of Fatima. |
