Lisbon, Europe's Coolest City

Lisbon, Europe's Coolest City Overview

This cultural tour with a concert of the Gulbenkian Orchestra, running 23 – 27 April 2025, offers a definitive insight into the Portuguese capital. Our 4-star heritage hotel is an ideal base from which to discover the city’s charms with our resident guide and enjoy the pleasures of great food, good wine and superb music.

Set on seven hills above the broad river Tagus, Lisbon blends mediaeval, Moorish and classical 18th century architecture in a photogenic, immediately beguiling, manner. The wealth from centuries as a great maritime trading nation endowed palaces, monasteries and castles; the colonial connection to South America and Africa lends a cosmopolitan air and the galleries and museums display fine collections, particularly the outstanding Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
