Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world: its history dates back to around 1’200 BC, when it was founded by the Phoenicians.
Portugal’s capital is nicknamed the “city of seven hills” because its historic center is surrounded by seven steep hills, offering many spectacular panoramic views.
With 280 days of sunshine a year, Lisbon is one of Europe’s sunniest cities.
The April 25th Bridge, which links Lisbon to Almada, is often compared to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge because of its similar structure.
For the literary, Lisbon has been home to the world’s oldest bookshop since 1732.
