Top tips for Abu Dhabi to Lisbon
Visit the Belém Tower
While Abu Dhabi has the Etihad Towers, Belem Tower is one of the most special attractions in Lisbon. The 16th century UNESCO World Heritage Site once had a defensive role protecting the country during its golden ‘Age of Discovery’.
Now it stands as an iconic symbol of Portuguese culture and heritage. The many civilisations that influenced it are evident in the tower’s Manueline architecture.
Wander through Baixa and Bairro Alto
The Baixa neighbourhood is one of the city’s most enchanting. Rebuilt after an earthquake in 1755, it’s a marvel of stunning plazas, boutique shopping and vibrant tiled buildings.
Those looking to wine and dine will love the maze of cobbled streets that make up the Bairro Alto area of the city. Lisbon’s very own hip artistic quarter is brimming with lively bars and traditional restaurants, serving delicious fresh seafood and parties that go on until the early hours.
