A city reinvented, Lisbon features an interesting array of gothic cathedrals, designer boutiques and quaint seaside villages perfect for an unforgettable European escape. Start at Parque Florestal Monsanto, one of the largest parks in Europe. Given the huge diversity of animals found here, Parque Florestal Monsanto is a natural wonder that highlights the best of Lisbon.

Learn about its inspiring history – how it served as a Moorish royal residence – then delight in its onsite restaurant. After an eventful day, head over to Sintra, the aristocratic hill town located west of the city. With its dreamy façade and 19th century Romantic architecture, Sintra will leave you at a loss for words.
