Corinthia Hotel Lisbon

Once you’ve explored all the city has to offer, the luxurious Corinthia Hotel Lisbon is a peaceful retreat where you can bury your nose in a newly purchased book or sit back and scroll through your best pictures. There is no better place to end an exciting day in Lisbon.

Miradouro das Portas do Sol

Walking up Lisbon’s steep roads can be a bit of a workout, but you can catch your breath while gazing at the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora from the Miradouro das Portas do Sol. Then make like a local and catch the trundling Tram 28, which will carry you past more beautiful buildings as you head back downhill.
