highlights of lisbon 

Don’t miss out on Lisbon’s wealth of attractions, adventures and experiences 

Founded – legend has it – by Ulysses 

on his return from Troy, conquered 

by invading Moors and celebrated as the 

leading European city through the Age 

of Discovery, Lisbon’s history stretches 

beyond that of Paris and even Rome and 

makes it a uniquely diverse destination. 

With its stunning architecture, quaint 

streets and exciting nightlife, Lisbon is 

BELÉM 

Located to the west of Lisbon’s center, on the banks of the Tagus, Belém is the 

city’s famous historic quarter and is intrinsically linked to the city’s maritime 

past. Belém is home to the UNESCO world heritage site of Belém Tower 

and Jerónimos Monastery, two fine examples of Manueline architecture and 

enduring symbols of Lisbon’s historic ties to the sea. As you wander through 

Belém’s plentiful green spaces and 17th and 18th century decorated houses, 

be sure to stop at Antiga Confeitaria de Belém and sample its famous Pasteis 

de Belém custard tarts. Visit Belém’s Ajuda Palace and Coaches Museum 

and take in the grandeur and opulent life of Portugal’s royalty. Modern culture 

vultures will also have their appetites sated at the Berardo Museum, which 

houses an impressive collection of modern art, including works by Picasso, 

Pollock and Warhol. Private tours are available for VIP guests.

One of the world’s greatest museums and too often overlooked in Europe, 

the Gulbenkian Museum holds an outstanding collection of Egyptian, 

Greek, Roman, Islamic, Asian and European art. Gathered over 40 years by 

oil tycoon Calouste Gulbenkian, the treasures were donated to Portugal, 

his adopted home, after his death in 1955. The museum brings together 

millennia-old treasures and great European artists such as Monet and 

Rembrandt – all under one roof. Among the many highlights are the gold 

Egyptian mummy masks and the serene garden, providing visitors with the 

perfect retreat from the bustle of the city.

Just a short trip outside Lisbon in the stunning Sintra-Cascais National 

Park, Oitavos Dunes offers world-class golfing in an unforgettable location. 

The course is nestled between deep pine woods, set against the Sintra 

Mountains and Cabo do Roca, Europe’s most westerly point, providing 

majestic ocean views. Aside from the spectacular scenery the course itself 

is world renowned as it can be played at any time of year. America’s Golf 

Magazine recently placed Oitavos Dunes as one of only three Continental 

European courses in the top 100 in 2011. Course architect Arthur Hills has 

done an excellent job of incorporating the course into its unique location 

and it is only the second course to be recognized as a Certified Signature 

Sanctuary – Gold.

Website: www.parquesdesintra.pt 

This stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site has inspired visitors for 

centuries, with Lord Bryon declaring it a “Glorious Eden.” The majestic 

beauty of the landscape has long attracted the elite and nestled among 

the evergreen landscape are the palaces and homes of the Portuguese 

Royal Family. The National Palace of Sintra dates back to the 15th 

century and its architectural combination of Moorish, Manueline 

and Gothic influences reflect Portugal’s rich history. The rooms are 

breathtaking and carry the coats of arms of Portugal’s aristocracy. 

While vibrant and imaginative architecture can be found throughout 

the town, The Pena National Palace is truly extraordinary and 

well worth a visit. Perched on a wooded hill overlooking the town 

and build by King Fernando II, the Palace’s vivid array of colors and 

fairytale towers makes it one of the world’s greatest examples of 

19th century Romanticism. 

Take a private after-hours guided tour through the stunning palaces 

and absorb the unique atmosphere, and learn from the experts about 

the history, art, nature and architecture of Sintra. End your trip with a 

spectacular private dinner prepared by top Portuguese chefs.

“Visit the historic quarter of Lisbon by tram. These narrow streets, tiled 

façades, and wrought-iron balconies – of medieval and Moorish origin 

– are best seen by tram (elétrico). Stroll by the River Tagus and lunch at 

the Santa Amaro docks. Go shopping in the Baixa Pombalina – one of 

Lisbon’s busiest quarters. Explore historic Belém, linked to Portugal’s 

Golden Age of Discovery as the departure site of famous navigators 

sailing to the New World. Among Belém’s attractions are the Jerónimos 

Monastery, the Monument to the Discoveries, the Torre de Belém 

Cultural Center and Rua Vieira Portuense. Try the delicious custard tarts 

– Pasteis de Belém – at the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém. Listen to Fado, 

a form of music composed of four-line stanzas, based on a story of great 

passion and sung as a poem, accompanied by the 12-string Portuguese 

guitar and classical guitar. Fado first appeared in Portugal at the end of 

the eighteenth century, as a nostalgic style favored by sailors. Its name 

derives from the Latin word fatum, meaning ‘fate’ or ‘destiny‘.

“Begin your day with a 9am breakfast on our breakfast terrace, followed 

by a tour of Sintra with one of our multilingual professional drivers in 

a deluxe Mercedes Sedan, visiting both the historic town of Sintra and 

the surrounding countryside. Sintra has been classfied as a UNESCO 

World Heritage site. In the early 1900s, Estoril and Cascais were 

among the most fashionable resorts in Europe and rivalled Cannes and 

Biarritz as a refuge for deposed monarchs and aristocrats in exile who 

came here to enjoy the natural beauty of the region and its relaxed yet 

sophisticated atmosphere. The following sites are not to be missed: 

Palácio Nacional de Queluz, considered the Portuguese version of 

Versailles, on the outskirts of Lisbon; the Palácio Nacional da Pena, 

Sintra’s signature 19th century palace; the Palácio Nacional da Villa, a 

former royal palace; the Adega Regional de Colares, one of Portugal’s 

very special wine cellars and the Museu do Brinquedo (toy museum). 

While you are in Cascais, we recommend you visit the Museu dos 

Condes de Castro Guimarães, famous for its paintings and for Indo- 

Portuguese ceramics and archaeological pieces. We suggest stopping 

for lunch at the ocean view restaurant Porto Santa Maria, renowned for 

its selection of fine seafood.”

For lunch, dine on the very best grilled fish 

and seafood at Doca Peixe followed by a lazy 

afternoon, then enjoy a fabulous sunset view 

from a yacht on the Tejo River and dinner 

at the unique local tapas bars known as 

‘Tascas’. Here you will experience authentic 

Portuguese hospitality with your own private 

Fado singer. Alternatively, simply wander

WHEN BEST TO GO 

Lisbon enjoys a mild climate with a mean annual 

temperature of 17�C, making the city an ideal 

destination throughout the year. Summer days 

can get hot in the city center, but the evenings 

are surprisingly cool. Winter often brings rain, 

making Spring the optimum time to visit. 

LOCAL CUSTOMS 

The Portuguese are relaxed about social etiquette 

and Lisbon residents are not easily offended. 

However it is considered impolite to stretch in 

public, eat with or lick your fingers. 

ATTIRE 

Lisbon’s laid back residents are used to seeing 

visitors in shorts and t-shirts. However, shorts 

are not acceptable in religious buildings and 

smarter attire is expected for dining.
