Portugal’s capital spreads its ancient sites on seven hills overlooking the Tagus River. Atop the highest hill, St. George’s Castle overlooks the city. Balconies ablaze with geraniums and wrought iron lamps light up the medieval Alfama quarter. Sorrowful fados ring out from cafés in the Alto. Shoppers browse in the affluent Chiado district. A short drive away, deposed royalty once lived out their days in the opulent palaces of Estoril and Sintra.

Tangier is just 20 miles from Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. It is a bustling and vibrant city, which has an appropriate balance of shops to browse, beautiful beaches and historical landmarks.
Stroll the beachfront on Ave Mohammed VI, and sample the local mint tea. Perhaps a tour of the Kasbah Museum in the former Sultan’s palace before some craft souvenirs from The Souk in the Medina.

Here, in the City of the Moors, terraced gardens, elegant palaces and palm-lined plazas beguile your every sense. You’ll find delicous snacks and drinks in the quaint tapas bars around the old Cathedral, and more substantial fare in the dozens of bustling seafood restaurants along the shoreline.

Shaded squares and cobbled streets make for an excellent amble around this old fishing town. Seafood restaurants are plentiful in the harbour, make sure you leave time to sample your favourite dish!
