Book a Greater Lisbon holiday home for your ideal vacation
Grande Lisboa or Greater Lisbon is a subregion in the south west of Portugal, directly on the Atlantic ocean and north of the Tagus river. The capital city, Lisbon, is located within this district. Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world and its existence predates that of other modern European capitals such as Paris, London and Rome by hundreds of years. This makes the region popular with tourists and has secured its status as a location popular with tourists not only from Europe, but also for travellers from further afield who come to stay in rental properties here. The oldest district of Lisbon is Alfama, wich houses numerous Fado restaurants and bars, and there are also many historical tourist attractions in this location. Lisbon's subtropical Mediterranean climate ensures warm to hot summers and the mildest winters of any area on the European continent. A particularly low level of rainfall makes it a pleasure to book a visit at any time of year. There are many self catering Greater Lisbon holiday homes and other rentals available in this area to suit all budgets, from apartments to luxury villas.
Greater Lisbon Holidays – Discover an exciting region
One of the first things one encounters when visiting the Greater Lisbon area is the Ponte 25 de Abril (25th of April Bridge), the suspension bridge that connects Lisbon to the municipality of Almada. The bridge was constructed by the United Steel Export Company, the same company that constructed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Lisbon also has several cable cars, for example the Elevador da Glória and Elevador de Santa Justa. Both offer amazing skyline views of the Portugese capital. Located near to the city centre are The Botanical Gardens of Ajuda. Occupying an area of about 3,5 hectares and founded in 1768 by order of the powerful Marquês Pombal, this amazingly tranquil oasis of Lisbon is well worth a visit.
