Lisbon is a wonderful, small, old city, with fading glory from prior
wealthy periods and overseas conquests. The Portuguese were the first
european overseas explorers and conquerors. There are fantastic monuments to see from the water and from shore.

Lisbon is now Portugal's capital, main port and largest city. It's compact and lively, and a popular tourist destination. It was mobbed.
But wonderful sights to see

Centuries' worth of elaborate buildings ....
Like many european cities, cycling is popular, although Lisbon is very hilly.
