Lisbon is a beautiful Portuguese city with a rich historical past that starts even before the Roman Empire. This cultural heritage is common for most European cities but in Lisbon emerges in magnificent castles, impressive churches and eclectic neighborhoods in a unique and fascinating way.

Lisbon is set on seven hills that give the city distinctive skylight with narrow streets, picturesque architecture and tiny yellow trams.
