Lying north of the Tagus estuary and spread over a string of seven hills, Lisbon has much to offer. Explore the city with your local guide, beginning with a visit to the magnificent 15th-century Jerónimos Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue to the Belém Royal Palace to see the National Coach Museum that showcases a variety of 17th- to 19th-century coaches. Visit Belém Tower, one of Lisbon's most iconic buildings and symbolic of Portugal's great Age of Expansion.

Alternative option:
Time permitting, you may want to make a stop at Cascais, the fishing village that acts as the resort of Lisbon's jet set, on your return to the capital. The cosmopolitan atmosphere makes for a perfect scene from which you can embark on a voyage with the local fishermen to understand how their catch turns into some of the world's finest seafood cuisine.
