Description: Lisbon has a special place among the European metropoles: With every step, the visitor encounters a long national and European past that continually renews its impressive connection with the present. A modern style of living has moved into and begun to shape this city rich in tradition. But in contrast to so many other great European cities, the White City and its inhabitants have been able to remain remarkably true to themselves.
At the same time, the Rio Tejo and the Atlantic, beaches, sea cliffs, mountains, and lush nature make the Portuguese capital one of the most beautifully situated ports. Lisbon has always exerted a magical attraction for many, many people.
This photographic travel book transmits many aspects of its fascination.
