Lisbon: The City of Seven Golden Terraces

Basking in unmatched southern European illumination, Lisbon marries melancholic fado strains with sun-washed miradouros, yellow vintage trams clattering through narrow cobblestone alleys, and contemporary culinary renaissance.

Wander through the Moorish labyrinth of Alfama in the morning, savor piping-hot Pastéis de Belém beside Manueline monasteries at midday, and toast sunset over the river from the ramparts of Castelo de São Jorge.
