Tourists are seduced by Lisbon&#8217;s laidback lifestyle, relatively balmy weather and affordable cost of living. there is still plenty of uniquely wonderful reasons to visit Lisbon although the hipster caf\u00e9s are replacing the timeless mom-and-pop corner stores that once abounded here.<\/p>\n<h2>About the historical center<\/h2>\n<p>There is a legend that says that Lisbon, similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rome\">Rome<\/a>, was built upon seven hills. The city has a great history, having plenty of vantage points to get the lay of the land. These spots dot the historical center, affording stunning views over this pastel-hued metropolis and the mighty Tagus River that girds its southern edge are known as miradouros in Portuguese.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for picture-perfect panoramic view, you should visit Elevador Santa Justa, a turn-of-the-20th-century public transit project linking the central Baixa neighborhood with its hilltop neighbour, the aptly named Bairro Alto, or \u201chigh neighbourhood.\u201d The elevator boasts unparalleled views over the heart of the city center, but it costs 5 euros and the queues can often prove daunting.<\/p>\n<p>A trendy terrace bar on the top floor of a shopping centre off the fast-gentrifying Martim Moniz Square can be visited free of charge. The experience is even more exciting if you go at sunset when Lisbon\u2019s hallmark golden light illuminates the Castelo de S\u00e3o Jorge.<\/p>\n<h2>Fado &#8211; Portugal&#8217;s national music<\/h2>\n<p>Nostalgia is a characteristic of Portugal. Saudade, translated in English as longing, nostalgia describes best the feeling provided by the fado music. F<em>ado<\/em>\u00a0is tinged with melancholy even at its most upbeat and is often nothing short of a heart-wrenching <em>cri de coeur<\/em>, set to a pithy classical guitar. The soulful musical style has become so deep a part of the national culture here that when its most famous singer, Am\u00e1lia Rodrigues, died in 1999, the government declared three days of official mourning is thought to have originated in Lisbon in the early 19th Century among sailors and dock workers.<\/p>\n<h2>The food<\/h2>\n<p>Lisbon is a seafood lovers paradise. Visit Cervejaria Ramiro, a perennial classic, serving up lobster, shellfish, giant tiger shrimp, prawns and more at affordable prices. you can\u2019t go wrong with the\u00a0Restaurante 100 Maneiras, one of Lisbon\u2019s most acclaimed dining experiences if you\u2019re hankering for something truly special.<\/p>\n<h2>Discover Portugal&#8217;s art<\/h2>\n<p>the country\u2019s answer to the Louvre, of this tiny country, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, contains\u00a0treasures of Portuguese and European art but also pieces from former colonised regions\u00a0that once stretched from West Africa to India to Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Across town, the\u00a0Museu Calouste Gulbenkian\u00a0offers visitors a whirlwind overview of the history of art, from ancient Egypt all the way through the present day.<\/p>\n<h2>Portugal&#8217;s Beaches<\/h2>\n<p>You can get to the nearest beach on a commuter train line leaving from the central Cais do Sodr\u00e9 train station.<\/p>\n<p>If you have enough time, rent a bike in the far western Lisbon neighbourhood of\u00a0Bel\u00e9m\u00a0\u2013 home to both the\u00a0Mosteiro dos Jer\u00f3nimos monestary, one of Lisbon\u2019s few surviving Gothic structures, as well as Portugal\u2019s most iconic dessert, the famed pastel de Bel\u00e9m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisbon is seen as a landing ground for digital nomads who flock to the city and Europe&#8216;s top tourist destinations.
