Flying over the town of Lisbon, with the fado music playing in the background, will make you instantly understand why the city’s light is greatly appreciated by so many people. The city got completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1755, and it was then rebuilt according to the pombaline style. Lisbon is bathed by the Tage river and it contains seven hills, where you can find the typical neighborhoods letting out the smell of grilled sardines. The city that inspired the writer Fernando Pessoa is as beautiful as his poetry: “God wants, man dreams, the work is born”.
Carlos shares with you his favorite high-end hotels in the beautiful city of Lisbon.
