[JohnGoldSmith]

The capital of Portugal is one of Europe’s most providential cities, since it has all the true elements that make it worth visiting all year round.

St. George’s Castle – also known to the locals as Castelo de Sao Jorge -

The “guardian” of the place and the one from whom the castle “borrowed” the name is also the official guard saint of the whole Portugal, St. George, the dragon demolisher.

Another superb “must see” in Lisbon is the Oceanarium, which is the largest in Europe and the second in the world, after the one in Osaka. It is housing more than 16,000 animals and plants that represent 450 different species..
Another Magnetism :
The Sintra Museum of Modern Art (aka as The Berardo Collection Museum) stands as a clear representation of the cultural importance of Lisbon.

The Berardo Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art – the lifetime attainment of business and art tycoon José Berardo. Situated inside the Belem Cultural Center, the museum includes the masterworks of many famous and contemporary artists.

Also some places where you can enjoy your journey.

1. Castelo de Sao Jorge

St George’s Castle in Lisbon is a 9th century Moorish affair built upon a pre-existing Visigoth structure. From its breakdown battlements, astonishing views of the city - and beyond to the ocean - stretch off in every direction.

2. The Rua Augusta

The Rua Augusta, which runs from the Praca do Comercio to the Praco do Rossio, is Lisbon’s showcase shopping street. Even if you’re not appearing to buy anything, a stroll, some window-shopping all come highly recommended.

3. Party in the Bairro Alto

The Bairro Alto is admired party central in Lisbon. People trickle out into the streets from the dozens of small bars and clubs, and the action usually keeps going until well into the morning.

4. Alleyways of the Alfama

The Alfama was the only district of Lisbon that didn’t suffer widely at the hands of the earthquake that hit the city in 1755. Now the houses huddle together to create a dark, atmospheric mass of streets.

5. Belem Tower

The Manueline Belem Tower is most likely Lisbon’s well-known gravestone. Looking out across the hugeness of the Atlantic Ocean also serves as a reminder of just what was so incredible about the great Age of Discovery.

All these places are really good especially Belem Tower which is one of the most outstanding places in Lisbon. I never ever see this place in a real but saw lots of time on net and discovery. I wish to visit once in life and see the real beauty of Lisbon.

very good info shared here. Its a good travel guide if anyone plans to visit Lisbon

[Watsonreo]

Distributed on the steep slopes overlooking the River Tagus, Lisbon offers all the delights that are expected of the star attraction of Portugal, but with half the bustle of other European capitals. Gothic cathedrals, monasteries and museums are part of the picturesque majestic cityscape colors, but the real pleasures of discovery lies in wandering the streets of the charming narrow streets, Lisbon.

When visiting Lisbon be prepared to do a lot of walking up and down the 7 hills the city was built on. Visiting Alfama is to visit the architecture, the sounds and the smells of old Lisbon. This is one of the most typical quarters of Lisbon.
