You will fly to Lisbon and travel to the hotel on your own. It is useful to buy a Lisbon pass, which gives you free access to public transport and several museums. Moreover, the pass allows you to get discounts at a number of shops and attractions. Some sights in Lisbon that are definitely worth visiting are: Torre Belém, Ponte 25 de Abril and Castelo São Jorge. Also highly recommended is touring Lisbon on the old tram 2. Through narrow streets and curves, this tram leads you through Lisbon's different neighbourhoods. You have a good chance of hearing Fado music in the background. This music genre originated in Lisbon and is often played live at terraces, bars and restaurants.
