Lisbon - An Introduction of Gastronomic Proportions

Portugal’s hilly coastline exudes scenic charm and its capital city, Lisbon, is an example of the kind of cultural allure that can be found along the banks of the Tagus Estuary. Pastel-colored homes hover over sparkling waters, historic landmarks punctuate town squares, and forested mountains accentuate views from a dreamy accommodation you will privately transfer from Lisbon Portela Airport. A local with insider knowledge of Lisbon’s gastronomic scene will greet you in the lobby, and you will spend the afternoon discovering the multiculturalism of Mouraria through traditional Fado music and tantalizing food included in your culinary tour.

Spain, Portugal Tour Review: Granada, Seville, Porto, Culture, Local Cuisine, 2-Week Trip

Zicasso's travel agency exceeded all expectations! At every stop on our two-week journey, we had fantastic guides and well-planned visits. It was fabulous to walk up to any site we were visiting, have the tickets already in the hands of our trusty guides, and waltz right in. They were all knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed getting to know a bit about them and the places we toured. We loved our itinerary and felt we got a wonderful taste of Spain and Portugal. We have recommended our entire experience to friends, new and old!
