Lisbon called the city of the
seven hills, benefits from its favoured location
and its superb harbour. Its attraction lies in
the magnificent views, its freshness and
brightness, its modern outlook by
side with centuries
of history and culture. Both ancient and
cosmopolitan, in constant change yet it still
maintains its old charm. It offers its visitors
an endless selection of things to see and do
such as a wide variety of museums and monuments,
parks and gardens, and international shows,
unique moments of leisure and night-time
entertainment.
Vila Galé Ópera hotel
is located 500 metres from Lisbon's lively
Docks area and a kilometre from the
historic Belem district. There you
should visit the Belém Tower which was
classified by the Unesco as a world heritage
site in 1983. It was originally built in 1520 to
defend Lisbon against the threats of invaders.
It used to reside somewhere near the middle of
the River Tagus at Belém, but now it can be
found clinging to the northern bank. Another
must see site is this area is .the Monument to
the Discoveries. |
