Built on seven hills overlooking the Tagus River, it's a city of pastel-colored buildings, cobblestone streets, and miradouros (viewpoints) that offer stunning panoramas at every turn. The melancholic sounds of fado drift from candlelit restaurants, pastéis de nata come fresh from the oven, and the Atlantic light gives everything a golden glow that photographers dream about.
