Why Lisbon?

Lisbon oozes coolness and culture. This old city has a young soul it just can’t hide, and each neighborhood has a distinct vibe. Chiado and Alfama always stand out to visitors because their incredible architecture is so well preserved, but don’t miss out on the riverside areas of Praça do Comércio and Belém, the birthplace of Portugal’s famous custard tart. Lisbon’s food scene blends local and international flavors, and the wine is great — you’re at the mouth of the Douro Valley, the oldest demarcated wine region in the world.
