Lisbon in photos: Postal-perfect spots

Miradouro do Elevador de Santa Justa. Lisbon, Portugal

These photos will make you fall in love with Lisbon.

Lisbon is best known for the viewpoints (miradouros) offering sweeping views of the city, its traditional Fado music, the tasty pasteles de nata and the colorful facades featuring colorful tiles (azulejos).

It’s hard to pick the best attraction as it seems that every corner of the city has something to offer: a dominating castle, quaint streets and plenty of UNESCO World Heritage sites. This combined with friendly locals, nice weather and delicious food make Lisbon a top destination in Europe.

In this post, we have selected our best photos with the hope that they will inspire you to visit this beautiful and underrated country. Enjoy!
