Round the World in 30 Days

Lisbon, Portugal

As one of the rare European cities facing the ocean, Lisbon’s culture is defined by the element of water. Spread across steep hillsides overlooking the sea, Portugal’s capital has one of the warmest climates on the continent. From museums and gothic cathedrals to bleached limestone buildings and an easygoing charm, Lisbon is a delight to the traveler. One of the best ways to explore the city is on Tram 28 as it winds through the Old Town – it’s one of only three traditional tram lines still operating in the city.
