Lisbon

Lisbon, the hilly capital of Portugal, hangs on the banks of the Rio Teja. It’s one of the oldest cities in the world thus its unparalleled number of architectural styles—everything from Gothic to Postmodern. But it also boasts cool cafes and ultra-hip neighborhoods with diverse culture and cuisine. And, in the middle of it all, turn-of-the-century funiculars climb up the City of Seven Hills en route to places like São Jorge Castle (check out the view!). Want to see nearly everything? Take Tram 28 for the perfect sightseeing route!
