Lisbon is moving with the times. It is innovative and daring whilst still maintaining a traditionally sophisticated ambience.

Take in this fashionable city as you wander the streets. Head up to the historic zones around the castle, Alfama, Madragoa and Bairro Alto.

Walk along the riverfront to see the variety of attractions on offer. Try the best in new Portuguese cuisine at the "Terreiro do Paço", "Olivier" or "Bica do Sapato" restaurants.

Or why not time your visit to coincide with leading exhibitions such as "Lisboa Fashion" (March and October) or "Experimenta Design".

Lisbon nightlife is as good as it gets. Forget the time and wake up late, the Lisbon sun will still be waiting. Catch all the latest beats at stylish disco venues like, "Lux" and "Kapital".

The range of top quality accommodation in Lisbon is also excellent. Stay at the Hotel Regency Chiado in the heart of the capital, or the Hotel Vip Arts on the banks of the Tagus in the Parque das Nações.
