LISBON Lisbon is Portugal’s capital and the hub of a multifaceted area that appeals to different tastes and senses. The city is Europe’s second-oldest capital (after Athens), once home to the world’s greatest explorers like Vasco da Gama and Magellan, becoming the first true world city, the capital of an empire spreading from Brazil to China. Lisbon offers so much to the traveller, with plenty of things to do and to see for visitors who want to explore in depth the tourist richness of the capital of Portugal. 53
