27 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Lisbon | Portugal

Portugal’s capital city of Lisbon is having a moment, so you’re likely already inspired to visit this tile covered town, but we hope these photos give you the extra push to go from inspired to purchasing a plane ticket.

Lisbon’s position at the mouth of the river Tagus proved strategic for trade routes dating back as far as 1200 B.C., making it the second oldest European capital. That means it’s even older than Rome! The fact that Lisbon has captured hearts for millennia creates a layered, rich architectural history ripe for exploring.

In addition to its history, Lisbon currently hums with exciting new restaurants and hip shops, making this city a wonderful stop on any itinerary.
