LISBON: ART & ARCHITECTURE

Enjoy the modern architecture in this vibrant city alongside baroque, neo classical and art deco buildings.

We explore the pretty city with its cobbled streets and elegant buildings including the vast 16th-century Monasteiro dos Jerunimos and the 17th-century Palacio de Fronteira, one of the oldest and finest aristocratic houses in Portugal. See the city's premier museums - the Museu de Artes Decorativas, the Museu de Arte Antigua and the world-class Calouste Gulbenkian Museum with its superlative works of art. We also explore some of the city's finest architectural landmarks of the 19th, 20th and early 21st centuries.

We drive to Queluz to visit the 18th-century rococo Palacio Real surrounded by delightful gardens inspired by Versailles, continuing to the charming hillside town of Sintra and the eclectic Palacio Nacional, built in Manueline and Moorish style.
