Lisbon, one of Europe’s oldest cities, spans seven hills which offer character and stunning views at every turn. Begin the day with a visit to one of the world’s most significant private art collections, the Gulbenkian Museum.
This afternoon, explore three of Lisbon's most vibrant districts: Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Príncipe Real. We'll take a break for some free time, giving you the chance to experience Portuguese café culture and enjoy a leisurely lunch.
