 Draped, like Rome, around seven hills, Lisbon is a walking city. From the sumptuous surrounds of the Lapa Palace Hotel, Glenn A. Baker heads off to the highest of them - crowned by the moated St. George's Castle – and then sweeps down through the medieval Alfama district and on to the Bairro da Alto - The Upper City, with its Fado cafes – and out to the sea-swept resort of Cascais (where spies once swapped secrets) and the UNESCO-listed town of Sintra, billed as a riot of 14th century palaces and 19th century pastel-coloured whimsy architecture.
The rich flavours of the Portuguese capital – the first true world city – are captured vividly in this 2200 word feature, which is accompanied by an array of enticing images and suited for top-end publications.
