At Lisbon's heart are wide, tree-lined avenues graced by Art Nouveau buildings, mosaic pavements and street cafes. Seen from the river - one of the city's many great viewpoints - Lisbon is an impressionist picture of low-rise ochre and pastel, punctuated by church towers and domes.
LISBON
● When To Go
If you've come to lie on the beach any month will do, but keep in mind a bit
of heat is good to complement the brisk Atlantic Ocean beaches. Carnaval, in
February or March, is a draw card - but most places know it and prices rise
accordingly, until it's much like the later mid-June to August peak season.
Unless you're a football fan or a 'when in Rome' kind of person it's best to
check when EFC games are held, as hordes of boisterous supporters descend on
the city for various matches.
