Lisbon, the city of seven hills, is one of Europe's most picturesque capitals with its bustling seaport, rich history and abundance of art and architecture. The city has something to offer even the most discerning tourist. Lisbon apartments are an affordable and unique alternative to hotels providing the comfort and conveniences of home at a lower nightly rate than most hotel rooms.
Lisbon is a city that has preserved its historic roots, and a holiday in Lisbon will keep you busy exploring the many churches, museums and sights of this city rich in history. Through its vast history in sea exploration, Lisbon was once a major world power and its empire spread from South America to Asia. Lisbon is also famous for its unique ceramic and mosaics, which are put on display throughout the city in colorful mosaic pavements and tiled facades. The city is a great walking city, but as pointed out above, it does have seven hills. For those who prefer more relaxed sightseeing, the best way to visit Lisbon is to take the charming public trams uphill and have a nice leisurely stroll downhill. There is also a metro system for underground transportation.
