Lisbon - city of the seven hills

Lisbon offers unique and unforgettable experiences for those who enjoy cities with plenty of history, and for those travellers who seek nature with all their senses. A rich, inviting, diverse route, waiting to be discovered by visitors from all over the world.

The sun and river Tagus are almost always present, making the Portuguese capital a colourful mirror, in which the beauty and unique architecture do not go unnoticed. It is a rememberable experience to walk through Lisbon's thousand years of history, rich in monuments and typical neighborhoods.

Fado is Lisbon's song par excellence. A product of its own feeling and soul that cannot be explained, can only be felt. Fado remains the most noble and genuine product of Portuguese popular culture.

Lisbon is also famous for its cuisine, like the codfish, which the Portuguese boast to cook in 1001 ways, or its wonderful wines and sweets, like the famous Belém custard tart (Pastel de Belém).

Like Rome, Lisbon is named "city of the seven hills", which are:

São Jorge Hill, also called the Castle;
São Vicente Hill, which is the current Alfama district and the Convent of São Vincente de Fora;
Sant'Ana Hill, located west of São Jorge's Castle, equivalent to the area currently defined by Rua de São José / Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, Rua da Palma / Largo Martim Moniz and Praça da Figueira;
Santo André Hill, which is located mainly along the sidewalks of Graça and Santo André, and also in Largo da Graça;
Chagas Hill, currently the area of Largo do Carmo and its surroundings;
Santa Catarina Hill, located between Camões and Calçada do Combro (Bairro Alto);
São Roque Hill, located in the Mirador de São Pedro de Alcântara, which currently stands on Bairro Alto.
