Lisbon the first capital of the global village
Magnificently sited on a
series of hills running down to the grand Tagus River, Lisbon is one of the
world's most scenic cities. Beautiful unexpected views are found at every turn
down its colorful, picturesque streets, and especially from strategically-placed
viewpoints or terraces at the top of each hill. The city has an unpolished,
seductive appearance; an effortless beauty with captivating details such as
cobbled designs, tiled façades, and pastel-colored buildings blending together
to give it a singular atmosphere now lost in so many other cities. In such a
stunning place, it's no wonder that many of the world's great explorers
questioned what other beauties lied beyond the horizon when they departed from
here in the 15th century.
