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

Mosteiro dos Jeronimos and Park and National Palace of Pena will appeal to history buffs. Let the collections at Museu Calouste Gulbenkian and National Museum of Ancient Art capture your imagination. Get out of town with these interesting Lisbon side-trips: Nazare (Ermida da Memoria, Praia do Norte, &more), Praia de Carcavelos (in Carcavelos) and Sintra (Chalet da Condessa D’Edla, Castelo dos Mouros, &more). Dedicate the 9th (Sun) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area.
