The warm climate and reliable Portuguese sunshine welcome you to the green and fertile region of the Tagus Valley, dominated by Lisbon, the capital. Travel around Lisbon on its trams and funiculars, or the modern metro, whose stations are authentic underground works of art. Walking around Lisbon is a unique experience of Portuguese pavements, tiled houses and wrought-iron verandas. Here the night is enjoyed to the full especially on the riverside, with its wealth of sidewalk cafés, bars and discos, the Avenida 24 de Julho, and in the more traditional Bairro Alto or Alfama where you can enjoy the fado, songs from the Portuguese soul, played here in the Lisbon style.
