Lisbon

One of Europe’s most charismatic and exotic capitals, Lisbon is a bustling yet nostalgic city, a meld of modern life and old-world charm, tightly clustered among seven hills beside the broad Tagus estuary. As a city that launched many ancient voyages of discovery, it still has a sense of being at Europe’s edge, a cultural melting pot.

Emerging into the 21st century, Lisbon’s many quaint and time-worn districts, such as Alfama with its labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets, are strikingly contrasted by areas such as the Parque das Nações. Here, one of Europe’s largest regeneration projects saw Lisbon’s derelict docklands transformed to host Expo ’98; thereafter becoming an area of stunning contemporary architecture for residential and business development, now much sought-after.

Elsewhere, elegant areas such as Lapa and Chiado continue to attract demand in the property market, particularly from city professionals seeking all that’s best in modern urban lifestyle, close to all amenities.
