Lisbon’s Most Breathtaking Views
Peeking above the Rio Tejo, Lisbon’s undulating terrain rises into view, making it a city to be admired from its many viewpoints. Zigzag your way up through the narrow streets from one restaurant to another and marvel at the colorful sprinkling of terracotta rooftops that sprawls into view beneath a radiant canopy of a sea-blue sky.
