Lisbon to Mafra
Lisbon International Airport (LIS) is located 7 km north of the capital Lisbon and is the largest airport in Portugal. Also known as Lisbon Portela Airport and Humberto Delgado Airport, it is a popular destination as the base for the airline TAP Portugal. Lisbon’s wealth of tourism, gastronomy, arts and entertainment make it a destination recognised worldwide.
Its rich history, abundant architectural heritage, outstanding local cuisine and many attractions make it a unique destination. St George’s Castle (Castelo de São Jorge) and Rossio Square make a great starting point for sightseeing, where you can stop at a café and try the famous pastel de nata (sponge cake). It’s also worth taking a ride on the city’s famous tram line, the 28th tram, for a tour to Belém to see the tower and the Jerónimos Monastery, or exploring the historic city of Sintra or Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, which each offer a day trip. Spend a morning shopping at the stalls in the Mercado da Ribeira market and, as an excellent programme option, see the fascinating marine world at the Lisbon Oceanarium, one of Europe’s largest aquariums. Other highlights include the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St Jerome’s Monastery, an outstanding work of Portuguese Manueline architecture, St George’s Castle, Santa Justa lift.
