Lisbon: Sesimbra & Arrábida - Wine Tour
About Lisbon Food & Wine Tours
Lisbon, the elegant and warm capital of Portugal, stands out as a city home to many civilizations throughout history. The beautiful city, whose foundation dates back to 1200 BC, was known as “Felicitas Julia Olissipo” during the Roman period. In the Middle Ages, the city grew under the influence of the Arabs and became an important maritime trade center after it was conquered by Christians in 1147. Vasco da Gama, one of the symbols of the Age of Discoveries, sailed from this city to India, reinforcing Lisbon's importance in world history. Over time, earthquakes and reconstructions have shaped Lisbon's historic fabric and created the vibrant atmosphere of today.
Today, Lisbon, with its rich history, not only harbors the traces of the past but also the dynamics of contemporary life. While the city attracts attention with its colorful streets, historic buildings, and impressive landscapes, it also becomes a paradise for gastronomy lovers.
