What to do in Lisbon

Rolling from the hills to the Tagus estuary, Lisbon peaks and troughs through Moorish castles and cobbled districts that rattle with trams. It’s a mix of history, art, chilled-out Euro vibes, and – of course – hedonism. You can settle in for a coffee on a bustling square in lively Baixa. You can see Berber fortresses and quaint cottages trimmed by Azulejo tiles in the handsome Alfama area. You can party until dawn with Portuguese wine and company in the Bairro Alto.
