Day 1 - 2
The beautiful city of Lisbon lies draped across a string of seven hills on the western Iberian Peninsula and is the westernmost and oldest city in western Europe. Its long and tumultuous history has resulted in an aesthetic characterised by a haphazard combination of old and new; however, the aesthetic chaos of Lisbon only adds to its appeal and its undeniable charm. Bright yellow centenarian trams rattle their way up steep, tree-lined, cobbled streets; ornate ironwork balconies overrun with bougainvillaea sit above elegant outdoor cafes housed in ancient whitewashed, red-roofed stone houses; and a flurry of detailed mosaics decorate the sidewalks. Ancient statues adorn grand squares and hidden gardens. A diverse culinary scene, a plethora of fascinating museums, and numerous castles make it easy to see why Lisbon is one of Europe’s most misunderstood and underrated cities.
Portugal Boutique City Hotel is located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal, with easy access to attractions such as the slopes of Castelo de São Jorge, Rossio Square and Igreja de São Roque. Accommodation consists of a variety of guest rooms and suites, each equipped with air conditioning, a hairdryer, a minibar, a safe and a flat-screen TV. Guests can enjoy delicious meals at any of the on-site restaurants and refreshing drinks at the hotel bar.
Fado In Chiado offers an atmospheric 50-minute fado show in the heart of Lisbon. A female and a male voice perform stirring fado pieces, accompanied by traditional Portuguese and acoustic guitar. The performance impressively conveys the melancholic soul of Portugal in an authentic atmosphere. A cultural experience that music lovers should not miss.
Day 3 - 4

Explore the winding alleys of the picturesque Gothic Quarter, take in the boisterous carnival atmosphere of the world famous, tree-lined La Rambla boulevard, or go on a gastronomical adventure through the city's restaurants. Head to one of the gorgeous white sandy beaches and when the sun sets, join the eclectic all-night party scene.
