The city of the seven hills. Lisbon is considered a global city due to its importance in financial, commercial, media, artistic, educational and tourist aspects.
Epicenter of discoveries since the fifteenth century, the city is the meeting point of the most diverse cultures, the first place in which East, Indies, Africa and the Americas met. Maintaining close links with the former Portuguese colonies and now independent countries, Lisbon is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe.
There are more than a hundred parks, gardens, farms and covered areas in Lisbon, among them the Parque Eduardo VII, the Florestal Park of Monsanto, the Botanical Garden of Ajuda, the Botanical Garden of Lisbon, Jardim da Estrela, Tapada da Ajuda , among many others.
We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th of April Bridge, Rossio, the Carmo Convent, or Bairro Alto among many other points of interest in the city.
