"Lisbon - the seven hills city" Lisbon by salinhopt

Lisbon Travel Guide: 5,119 reviews and 12,617 photos

The historical quarters of Lisboa are generally in the city centre, and in the 7 hills or "7 colinas". Some still retain the old structures of Muslim and medieval origin, with courtyards where people usually get together. The typical features of these quarters are old houses, narrow streets, wrought-iron balconies, tiled facades and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The best and most pleasant way to visit these quarters is by "electrico" (tram). And be sure not to miss a stroll by the River Tagus and lunch at the Santo Amaro docks.
