Lisbon a travel bargain
Lisbon is an overlooked European capital. Tourists tend to flock to Paris, Rome, London, but that little country on the edge of Europe? Portugal is not always on major tourist routes, but there is plenty to see there.
If you're looking for a trip to Europe, but you're hoping to stick to a tight travel budget, you might want to give Lisbon a look. Portugal has always cost less than other destinations in Europe.
So what is there to see in Portugal's capital city? Well, to start with, the city itself. It is compact and teems with everyday life. Its pleasures are its street life and setting: Lisbon was built on seven hills by the Tagus River which spills into the Atlantic. It doesn't seem overrun with tourists.
