Lisbon Holidays

In an ever-changing travel world, driven by leisure lovers, flexible workers and global adventurers, the Portuguese capital of Lisbon is a gem that is slowly being unearthed. Popular with lovers of laidback lifestyles, coffee shop culture and beautiful scenery, a city that has traditionally been overlooked on the global stage is starting to emerge as a top European city break destination. While travellers once turned to London, Paris and Rome for a European adventure, they now look towards cities like Lisbon – and their curiosity is rewarded with one of the continent’s most beautiful places.

Lisbon itself sits in a valley surrounded by seven imposing hillsides, creating picturesque views from every corner of the city. Its geography is also part of its appeal, thanks to its position on the glistening waters of the Tagus River leading directly out to the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear sunny day with blue skies, you will do well to find a more beautiful scene.

And, within its cobbled stone streets, you will find winding narrow roads, pastel coloured buildings and tramways that make for the perfect Instagram post.

Nature is embedded into the city, with a wealth of nature parks also found to its north, east, south and west. And, for the food lovers among us, African influences make traditional Portuguese dishes sing with flavour.

Overall, Lisbon is a beautiful city that offers something for every type of traveller. To book your tailor-made holiday to the Portuguese capital with dnata Travel, simply call 800 DNATA, browse our holiday offers, or visit your nearest dnata Travel store.
