A Lisbon Travel Guide for First Timers

For first time visitors to Lisbon you will want to visit the Castle of St George. Known to locals as the Castelo de Sao Jorge, this building sits at one of the highest points in Lisbon. The castle was once home to the Roman, but it has since been rebuilt. In the 1940's the people of Portugal undertook the task of rebuilding and refurbishing the structure. It is that effort that allows for visitors to explore the grounds themselves taking in the beautiful gardens, architectural details, and even some of the more modern presentations offered at the castle daily.

Architecture and events

When traveling to Lisbon

Belem Tower has become the symbol for Lisbon itself. Named a piece of World Heritage, Belem Tower is one of the most well known structures throughout the whole of Portugal. It was built in the 16th century, and its eye catching white stones makes it hard for you to miss. Architecturally you can expect to see some details that are reminiscent of the Manueline trend in architecture which is representative of Lisbon's architectural feel.

Choosing your accommodation in Lisbon

In 1998 Lisbon hosted a world's expo, and the Nations Park was the showplace for this expo. This area was actually refurbished from a largely abandoned portion of the city, and today you can find shopping, bars, restaurants, and concert venues. All of this is set within a larger park that is open for visitors to stroll through throughout the day. While you are winding your way through you might want to stop at The Ocenario which is one of the largest aquariums in Europe. Additionally, you cannot help but notice the tallest building in the city, the Torre Vasco da Gama.

First time visitors often have a bit of difficulty deciding where to stay while they are visiting a new place. With the advent of the internet that chore has been made much easier. Instead of simply booking a reservation site unseen you can use the web to help you get an idea of what you are looking for. There are a variety of apartments in Lisbon, but perhaps the most economical and comfortable are the Lisbon holiday apartments. While staying in this Lisbon lodging you will truly get a taste of what it is like to be a resident of Lisbon rather than simply a visitor passing through. Take the time to do your research, and once you find a place that appeals to you can usually book it online both easily and affordable.
