| I found Lisbon very underrated, much like Brussels. It's a beautiful city, and is unique in that it has very few tall buildings. I've always loved cities that feature a castle or cathedral offering a great view of the whole city and Lisbon was one of the best. It's a very laid back city, one which has alot to offer, yet feels no need to try to impress anyone - sort of a microcosm of Portugal itself. The seafood is good and not too expensive, and there are little bars everywhere to stop, rest, and enjoy an ice cold Sagres or Super Bock. There are several highlights, but chief among them would be the Baixa district (sort of the main historic center), the Belem Tower, the monastary, and the Castello (Castle) Sao Jorge overlooking the city. The view from the Castello is magnificent. It gives you an idea of just how big Lisbon is. It overlooks the Rio Tejo, which also adds to the view. Lisbon is a European highlight for sure.
