folded, 8.5" x 32" unfolded Lisbon, benefiting from an influx of
funding from the EU, has reemerged on the world stage as a
destination for those seeking the cultural experience of Southern
Europe. While it still has a patina of wear and retains an air of
shabby chic, renovation and new development are mixing the past
with the present to create an alluring juxtaposition of hip
boutique hotels in old medieval quarters. The magnificent Praca do
Commercial by the river Tejo is the center of the city and reflects
the atmosphere of this historic maritime center. Heading east,
you'll walk through the Alfama with its Moorish past, and up the
rising hillside to the dominating presence of the castle of St.
George. The pastel houses of the Bairro Alto line up like sunwashed
Easter eggs. There's a terrific panoramic view from the park on Rua
de San Pedro that shouldn't be missed. Additional must see visits
are to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, with one of the best art
collections in Europe, and to Belem to see the Cultural Centre, and
the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, the monastery commemorating Portugal s
seagoing superiority. Take the metro D line or a taxi up to the
Parque das Nacoes, home of Expo 98 and now a splendid outdoor vista
with shops, restaurants and one of the most stunning Aquariums on
earth, the Oceanarium. The STREETWISE (R) Lisbon map, including the
Lisbon Area map, pulls all of these sites plus hotels, and metro
stations together to help you navigate and enjoy your visit to
Lisbon. The Lisbon Region map will guide you on day trips west of
the city along the beautiful Costa Estoril to Cascais, Estoril and
Sintra. And finally, a map of Portugal facilitates further
exploration of the beautiful countryside. Our pocket size map of
Lisbon is laminated for durability and accordion folding for
effortless use. To enhance your visit to Lisbon, check out the
