Your holiday starts at London Gatwick where you meet your Tour Manager and group to fly to Lisbon. On arrival we are transferred by coach to our hotel, with four nights to explore this exciting city. Our hotel is in the heart of Lisbon's Old Town, conveniently close to the public elevator, designed by Gustav Eiffel, which gives us easy access to the Bairro Alto, the higher part of the city.
Lisbon is bursting with history, grand colourful buildings and stunning churches. High above the city - the impressive Castle of St George is a great look-out point and gives an insight into the history of the city. Set on seven hills, Lisbon's old neighbourhoods have cobblestone pavements and narrow streets, while its more modern area - which opens up onto the seafront - has Art Nouveau cafés, restaurants and bakeries that are a pleasure to explore.
Tonight we have our first dinner together at a local restaurant. Lisbon comes alive after dark and you might enjoy a walk through the Old Quarter around our hotel after dinner, visiting a local coffee shop or wine bar.
