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.

A notable city of great stature yet surprisingly affordable, there is little reason not to make Lisbon your next European trip. Live like a Braganza for a little less than you might think with our edit of the top 10 Lisbon hotels for less than £150.
