Lisbon took home the award for the World’s Leading City Break Destination 2019 for the third time, proving that it truly is an unmissable European capital. Portugal was one of the biggest winners of the 26th Annual World Travel Awards, taking home a total of 12 “tourism Oscars”.
Lisbon is a historical city full stories to tell and where the lovely weather makes for the perfect conditions to wander the lovely roads of the city. This is a city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved bacalhau (salted cod), and where you’ll find hotels and restaurants to suit every taste, budget and requirement.
Lisbon is full of authenticity where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation. Lisbon is ageless, but it loves company, as you’ll find out if you meet someone and ask them to explain, with lots of gestures and repetition, where the best place is to listen to Fado. After all, Lisbon is famous for its hospitality and the family-like way it welcomes visitors.
