Lisbon Travel Highlights

Ten neighbourhoods, 377 churches, nine hills and a medieval castle: the Portuguese city of Lisbon is full of interest and fun. The historic centre is known as the Alfama, and is famous for its white-washed houses and narrow alleyways that wind up and down the steep hills. The highest point of the Lisbon peninsula, at 172.5 m (564 ft) above sea level, is found in the Montinhos de Alfama neighbourhood – an area rich in amenities and culture and containing many traditional shops and street markets.
