| Enchanting Lisbon |
|
Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal has been for centuries the finis terrae. Then,
when Europe began to explore the world with a series of sea voyages,
this land of seafaring people, built a vast colonial empire overseas.
The
splendour of its past and its traditions is witnessed by Lisbon, its
capital, built at the mouth of the river Tagus, lying on seven hills.
From the many miradouros, the landscape is breathtaking.
But Lisbon has much more than just monuments and museums. Lisbon is a
city to enjoy. Every day a new exhibition is hosted or a new restaurant
is opened. In its life, in its food, in everything, Lisbon is trendy,
under constant innovation.

After a
day in the city, you can enjoy a meal in the sophisticated atmosphere
of Olivier, in Baixa, where chef Olivier Costa offers you a globally
minded cuisine in his 18th Century French court style decorated
restaurant. |
