14 days in Lisbon Itinerary

Built on seven hills, Lisbon has experienced a renaissance in recent years, making it the cultural star of Portugal.

Get some historical perspective at Mosteiro dos Jeronimos and Park and National Palace of Pena. Escape the urban bustle at Praia da Nazare and Pego Beach. Venture out of the city with trips to Borboletario Tropical (in Santa Margarida), Alcobaca (Monastery of Alcobaca & Paredes da Victoria Beach) and Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima (in Fatima). There's much more to do: visit Alfama, don't miss a visit to Belém Tower, enjoy the sand and surf at Praia da Aberta Nova, and steep yourself in history at Castelo dos Mouros.
