Lisbon

Lisbon is the coastal and mountainous capital of Portugal. From the imposing castle of San Jorge, the view encompasses the pastel-colored buildings in the old city, the Tagus estuary, and the 25 de Abril suspension bridge. Nearby, the National Tile Museum exhibits 5 centuries of decorative ceramic tiles. Just outside Lisbon is a strip of beaches on the Atlantic, from Cascais to Estoril.
