Lisbon

A city of golden light and timeless charm, Lisbon cascades down seven hills to meet the Tagus River in a tapestry of colorful streets and sunset-washed plazas. Vintage trams rattle past azulejo-tiled facades, while fado music drifts from candlelit taverns in ancient Alfama. Here, miradouros offer breathtaking views over terracotta rooftops, and centuries-old pastelarias serve warm pastel de nata alongside morning coffee. This is a city that wears its history lightly – where elegant squares and grand boulevards mix with street art and cutting-edge cuisine, all bathed in the kind of luminous light that makes it a photographer's dream.
