Lisbon is the ideal
Valentine's date – splendid, magnetic, gorgeous and carefree. Emotions truly grasps you on every nook and cranny
here, may it be the way the cobbles sparkle like silver after the drizzle, the
mournful wail of fado melody floating through open screens in the back street
of Alfama area, or the immaculate
Atlantic light falling over the veneers of houses in a fresco painter's palette
of hues.

patios and vintage funiculars and you'll soon fall head over heels with the
Portuguese capital.

If you are on a
high with the oath of fresh love, Lisbon takes you further higher at its
miradouros, or posts, a lot of which are
fixed into the dents of the city's seven slopes. For magical panoramas, advance
to Alfama, Castelo and Graça neighborhoods. A lively walk gives you the
indulging views of : Miradouro de Santa
Luzia cladded with bougainvillea and Moorish escape Largo das Portas do Sol
peer over roofs sstumbling down to the Tagus River and crosswise over
the magnificent white vault of the Panteao Nacional and double-coned
Igreja de Sao Vicente de Fora

The more you ascend,
the more Lisbon gets speckled across. Miradouro da Graça looks across over to
the fortress on the slope, while the whole city spreads out before you at
pastel-shaded Miradouro Senhora do Monte – the perfect spot to make you partner
cozy.

Undoubtedly, Lisbon
is romantic from the core, and is sure to charm you with the vintage cable cars
that bang and shriek through its backstreets and the classical funiculars that
buzz up to miradouros with mystical vistas. In this liven up you fantasies, you
ought not to miss out on sight-loaded twist of the city on cable car 28 or a
ride in the neo-Gothic Elevador de Santa Justa, Lisbon's sole vertical road
lift, architectured by Gustave Eiffel and Raul Mesnier . To truly rewind time,
meander at recreation around Baixa's backstreets, which are packed with old
fashioned stores exchanging everything from retro-bundled ccanned fish to
bowler caps.
Fado, the
agonizing, melancholic folk music for which Portugal is well known, has its
roots Lisbon's Alfama area. Imbued with nostalgia, it looks back to the jingles
of yearning to go home mariners and Moorish songs. Listen to best of Fado at
Clube de Fado and Mesa de Frades.
