      **** LISBON ****

Lisbon, the capital and largest city of Portugal, has a Mediterranean
climate that is strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream, giving it one of
the mildest climates in Europe, with an annual average of 3300 hours of
sunshine and temperatures averaging between 18ºC and 28ºC in July. The
city is the westernmost capital in Europe, on the Atlantic coast at the
point where the river Tagus flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

The city was elected the second travel choice for the year of 2008 by the
New York Times:
    "Bargain-seeking tourists have long flocked to Lisbon, typically
     among the most affordable of European cities. But now the Portuguese
     capital is also emerging as a cultural force. The new Berardo
     Collection Museum, in the historic Belem district, boasts a major
     trove of modern and contemporary art. Designer hotels like Fontana 
Park
     and Jerónimos 8 are attracting style-savvy travelers. And the Design
     and Fashion Museum, scheduled to open in late 2008, will go a long way
     toward cementing the city's avant-garde status."

It is a beautiful city to visit:
    "Observing an odyssey of sea creatures in a state-of-the-art 
aquarium and
     a breathtaking view from the walls of a millennium-old castle. A 
seemingly
     endless modern bridge and tiny turn-of-the-century trams. Climbing
     picturesque hills by day and bar-hopping through vibrant cobbled 
lanes at
     night. Legendary cafés and art nouveau shops. World Heritage 
monuments and
     singular museum treasures. Fairytale palaces and sandy beaches 
nearby. Long
     dinners and an insatiable appetite for nightlife. Antiquated and 
trendy;
     lively and melancholic. All that is Lisbon. A captivating city. A 
soulful
     European capital. This is your guide -- Go Lisbon."
