\n

Visit Lisbon on an\u00a0MSC Mediterranean cruise<\/a>\u00a0and explore\u00a0one of the world\u2019s most ancient cities and the second oldest European capital after Athens<\/strong>. It\u2019s yet to go global and its white-domed cathedrals and cobbled alleyways make it quintessentially Portuguese. As the only capital city on the Atlantic coast, Lisbon is also remarkably inexpensive: food, drink and entertainment all offer exceptional value for money.<\/p>\n

MSC Cruises excursions\u00a0offer plenty of exciting things to see including:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Impressive Belem Tower
\n\u2022 Old-Fashioned Trams
\n\u2022 Lisbon By Land And Water<\/p>\n

The iconic\u00a0Belem tower<\/strong>, is Lisbon\u2019s and possibly Portugal\u2019s most recognisable monument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Built as a ceremonial gateway and fortress when Portugal had a global empire, it spectacularly failed to defend the city.\u00a0In 1580 it fell to invading Spanish forces in just hours and French forces occupied it in the Peninsula War. It\u2019s been a prison, light house and customs centre and is now a\u00a0UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>.\u00a0Make sure to see the pits where prisoners were thrown in, and the 16th century rhinoceros gargoyle.<\/p>\n

Lisbon\u2019s old fashioned trams<\/strong>\u00a0are unique to the city and have been around for generations. The trams are both a tourist attraction and a reliable way for commuters to travel across the town of Lisbon. Board the tram at\u00a0Martim Moniz Square\u00a0<\/strong>and head up towards the hills of Lisbon. Along the way, you will see the Old town, passing\u00a0Gra\u00e7a quarter and Alfama district<\/strong>. Finally, you will reach the highest point at\u00a0Portas do Sol<\/strong>\u00a0belvedere, with enchanting views of the metropolis and the Tagus river.<\/p>\n

Exploring Lisbon by both land and water is an unparalleled experience in Portugual\u2019s capital city. This MSC Excursion offers you the opportunity to board an amphibious craft that is both able to navigate on water and travel on land. The tour first begins on land and covers the main landmarks such as\u00a0Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio<\/strong>,\u00a0Pra\u00e7a do Rossio<\/strong>,\u00a0Liberty Avenue<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Marqu\u00eas de Pombal Square<\/strong>. The tour then continues on water as you will embark on a 30 minute trip along the River Tagus. While sailing across the river, admire the picturesque skyline from a waterside perspective.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
