Olá !
Lisbon is probably best known for its colonialist history, ornate architecture and tradition of Fado music. But some of its best features are in the everyday – spectacular hilltop vistas in Alfama or at St. George's Castle, pleasant year-round weather and friendly locals.
Capital of Portugal and the centre of the Lisbon metropolitan area, Lisbon is located in western Portugal on the estuary of the Tagus River, it is the westernmost capital city in continental Europe and serves as the country’s chief port, largest city, and commercial, political, and tourist centre.
