Lisbon
Portugal
Lisbon spreads across seven hills above the Tagus: Alfama's laundry-strung lanes, Belém's monastery and custard tarts, Tram 28 grinding uphill past tiled facades, and sunset miradouros with fado drifting out of taverns. Western Europe's best-value capital pairs perfectly with Porto or the Algarve.
