One of the oldest cities in Europe, Lisbon predates London, Paris and Rome by centuries - in fact, Athens is the only capital that predates it. Although doused in culture, the city does not rest on its laurels. Instead, it continues to reinvent itself, raising the bar in culinary standards, e-commerce and artistic prowess. It's also seriously upping its luxury stakes thanks to Paula Amorim's recent outposts.
