Lisbon, city of seven hills
Overview
Lisbon spreads over hills above the Tagus estuary. In Alfama, the oldest neighbourhood, narrow streets climb to São Jorge Castle and to viewpoints over the river. In Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower are UNESCO World Heritage, and fado, born in the city, is on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Sintra, a UNESCO cultural landscape of palaces and gardens, is about 40 minutes by train from Rossio station. Your Travel Partner books a central hotel, the tickets with a time slot and the day in Sintra.
