Lisbon & Around
History
History lurks around every corner, from roofless cathedrals that bore witness to Europe's
most devastating earthquake, to the 1000-year-old castle on the hill - the scene of bloody
Crusades battles. There are Roman ruins, medieval churches, 16th-century convents and
more.
Food & Wine
Ever-inventive chefs showcase the bounty from field and ocean, alongside traditional res-
taurants serving Spanish, Italian, Indian, French and other cuisines. Cinematic views, al-
fresco meals and buzzing dining rooms complete the experience.
Nightlife
Nights out range from curbside drinking in Bairro Alto to live fado shows in Alfama. Put
your hands in the air at club Lux, listen to up-and-coming bands at Music Box: the options
are limitless.
