8 days in Lisbon Itinerary

Built on seven hills, Lisbon has experienced a renaissance in recent years, making it the cultural star of Portugal.

Popular historic sites such as Mosteiro dos Jeronimos and Igreja de Sao Roque are in your itinerary. Museum-lovers will get to explore Museu Calouste Gulbenkian and Carmo Archaeological Museum. There's lots more to do: wander the streets of Alfama, learn about winemaking at The Best Portugal, don't miss a visit to Belém Tower, and shop like a local with Avenida da Liberdade.
