• Explore Lisbon's old city, Gothic cathedrals and exciting nightlife.lisbon image by Jorge Casais from Fotolia.com
  
  Known as "Lisboa" in Portuguese, Lisbon is Portugal's vibrant capital, offering visitors a mix of old and new. Walk its cobblestone streets, through the old Alfama district, listening to "fadistas" sing traditional, melancholic songs; catch the sunset at the centuries-old Moorish castle; or enjoy a night out in Barrio Alto, dining and dancing until dawn. You can play golf at the world-class courses nearby; visit Fatima, where appearances of the Virgin Mary have been reported; or take an overnight trip to the town of Oporto, famous for Port wine. For whatever reason you visit Lisbon, there is a wide selection of hotels to choose from.
