Alfama & fado
The oldest district, its alleys, miradouros and fado houses come alive in the evening.
Golden light, azulejos and Atlantic gentleness
Hotels in Lisbonne
Golden light, colourful azulejos and yellow trams: Lisbon charms with its easy-going lifestyle and views over the Tagus.
Lisbon rewards tired calves and is best savoured from its miradouros, the viewpoints that reveal the city's extraordinary geography: seven hills, a river as wide as a sea, and a light Impressionist painters once compared to the Mediterranean's. Every district has its own rhythm: Alfama hums with fado, Chiado unfurls its literary cafés, Bairro Alto wakes up after dark.
The Portuguese capital is going through an exciting creative renaissance: new design hotels, a Michelin-starred food scene, and old industrial sites turned into creative hubs (LX Factory). Resapass negotiates rates at the city's finest addresses, from 18th-century palaces to contemporary boutique hotels.
