Portugal holiday villas in Lisboa e Vale do Tejo (Lisbon area and Tagus valley)
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is situated at the mouth of the Tejo River, nestling into the folds of seven hills, and offering many of the city's major attractions within walking distance of each other. This city is a wonderful place to enjoy a holiday villa in Portugal.
Medieval, enchanting and picturesque, Alfama lies to the east side of the city. The narrow medieval streets and alleys lead to large modern avenues, stretching up from the riverfront. These happy contrasts create a beautiful aesthetic within the city. All this can be advantageously appreciated when you stay in one of Iglu's holiday villas in Portugal. The magnificent Castelo de Sao Jorge is well worth a visit, as are the numerous museums of Lisbon, such as the Museo Nacional del Azulejo. There are also many ancient remains, for example the Monastery of Los Jeronimos and the “Torre de Belem”. Belem is renowned as the birthplace of Portugal's Age of Discoveries.
While enjoying a holiday villa in Portugal in Lisbon, you may wish to visit the Parque das Nacoes, which was the site of World Expo 98. This event helped Lisbon to become recognised as a modern and progressive city.
