After checking out of your hotel in Óbidos, a transfer will take you to your hotel in Lisbon where, after check-in, you'll have plenty of free time to explore the city. Lisbon is a romantic city open to the sea that has always shaped its destiny. Start with two emblematic monuments, close together on the banks of the Tagus: the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery. Both World Heritage Sites, they stand out for their beautiful Manueline architecture. Alfama, Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood, is a place not to be missed. Stretching up the south-eastern slope of the hill crowned by São Jorge Castle, the picturesque neighbourhood is made up of a maze of narrow streets, winding alleys and steep staircases. Bairro Alto, a picturesque working-class neighbourhood dating back to the 16th century, has traditionally been the bohemian haunt of artists and writers. Its streets are quiet during the day, but at night they are transformed by the city's vibrant nightlife. - Dinner included
