Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, predating such international capitals as London, Paris and Rome. And in recent years, Lisbon has made a name for itself as one of the world’s most desirable cities to visit. We think it’s this unique blend of old heritage and contemporary culture that makes Lisbon so appealing.

There is no city center, per se, in Lisbon. Many neighborhoods (or bairros), each with their own unique character, stretch out from the Praça do Comercio at the river. The Baixa, perhaps the oldest part of the city, is the former business center. Chiado attracts hipsters to its fashionable restaurants and trendy shops. Bairro Alto offers bohemian chic by day, and a bustling bar scene at night. Quaint Alfama leads up to the Castelo São Jorge, with some of the most spectacular views of the city. And, Parque das Naçoes, former dockyards revitalized for the 1998 World Exhibition, offer a modern perspective of the city.

Just a short drive from Lisbon, and on our must-do list, is: Sintra, the former vacation destination for royalty; Fátima, the sanctuary honoring a local miracle; Óbidos, the hilltop walled medieval city; and Cascais, a former fishing village turned international expat retreat.

We are happy to manage your visit to Lisbon, from booking elegant accommodations and luxury transfers, to selecting private tours and reserving top restaurants.
