Main Attractions
Lisbon can best be seen by strolling through the typical neighbourhoods
of Alfama or Bairro Alto, hopping on board a tram, taking a boat along
the river, or even by using Lisbon's underground, with its decorative
stations, many of which are true works of art by well-known Portuguese
artists. Apart from the vast choice of museums throughout the city, a
visit to Belém - west of the city - is an absolute must, with its
gardens, the Torre de Belém and the Jerónimos Monastery,
both classified by UNESCO as world heritage. Next door, the modern Centro
Cultural de Belém, the 18th century Coach Museum and the never-to-be-forgotten
local pastries, the Pastéis de Belém.
East of the city, the brand new Parque das Nações (ex-Expo'98)
with a variety of leisure attractions, including the Oceanarium, widely
considered to be one of the best in the world. |
