focus on lisbon

The Portuguese capital lies just to the north of the river Tagus, Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world but it contains a delightful mix of palaces, churches and gardens whilst also being able to boast wonderfully constructed modern architecture.

Lisbon is a city of incredibly picturesque streets and views. Look out from the top of a romantic set of hills which give a real insight into the history of the city, plus because it has only recently become a tourist destination it still has many areas of heritage still to be discovered.

A city unlike many others and a must visit on a Mediterranean cruise.
