About

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities in Europe.Located on a series of hills near the mouth of the Tagus river, it is an inextricably large place.Unpowered navigators have embarked here in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to navigate unknown waters and to draw new lands, and the inheritance of this golden age of discovery is the basis of a large part of the city’s culture and heritage.
