Lisbon Hotels and Holiday Destination Guide

Happy Holi- The Festival of Colours - Lisbon 8th September 2013

Welcome to Lisbon...

...probably the most fascinating, captivating and fulfilling of all Europe’s cities! With blue skies and a mild winter, this year-round destination offers fabulous ‘designer label’ shopping opportunities, terrific nightlife, exciting city and river panoramas and a picturesque environment where electric trams take you through narrow, cobbled streets to fine new hotels in wide boulevards: old-fashioned practicality meets 21st century sophistication.

Within easy travelling distance, the Lisbon Coast hosts some fine sandy beaches at Cascais and Estoril, fishing villages like Sesimbra and the forests and magical architecture of Sintra with its royal palaces and stunning vistas from Lisbon to the wild Atlantic. If that's not enough, take a boat along the Sado or Tagus for a nautical view of the coast.

Lisbon's sophisticated shopping centres, fine hotels, gastronomy and culture combine with the climate to make this a great destination, 12 months of the year. With so much to offer, you'll wonder why you never visited the city of Lisbon sooner!
