The Lisbon Region encompasses Portugal's vibrant capital and its stunning surrounds — from the UNESCO-listed palaces of Sintra and the Atlantic beaches of Cascais to the medieval hilltop town of Óbidos and the turquoise lagoons of Setúbal. Lisbon itself is one of Europe's oldest and most beautiful capital cities, draped across seven hills above the broad Tagus estuary, with a skyline of terracotta rooftops, Moorish castles, and gilded Manueline architecture.
