Best vacation spots and activities

Baixa and Chiado: Anyone who has visited Lisbon previously would tell you that the city itself is the main attraction. Drive up to the city center, discover the ideal parking place with Empark, and dive immediately into one of Europe's most interesting cities. Stroll around Baixa's ancient retail district, soak in culture at Museu Colecço Berardo or one of the numerous small art galleries, see vestiges of magnificent and enigmatic Moorish architecture, eat like a Portuguese in the Chiado neighborhood, and listen to really authentic music at a local Fado club. Or try one of the numerous other activities that this one-of-a-kind location has to offer.

25 de Abril Bridge: The finest way to enter Lisbon is to drive over the magnificent 25 de Abril Bridge. Many consider this stunning monument to be Europe's counterpart to San Francisco's renowned Golden Gate Bridge. It gives views of the Tejo River and the panoramic splendor of Portugal's capital. If you arrive early, it's worth returning later for a magnificent sunset.
