Emotions  truly grasps you on every nook and cranny here, may it be the way the cobbles sparkle like silver after the drizzle, the mournful wail of fado melody floating through open screens in the back street of  Alfama area, or the immaculate Atlantic light falling over the veneers of houses in a fresco painter's palette of hues.

If you are on a high with the oath of fresh love, Lisbon takes you further higher at its miradouros, or posts, a  lot of which are fixed into the dents of the city's seven slopes. For magical panoramas, advance to Alfama, Castelo and Graça neighborhoods. A lively walk gives you the indulging views of :  Miradouro de Santa Luzia cladded with bougainvillea and Moorish escape Largo das Portas do Sol peer over roofs sstumbling down to the Tagus River and crosswise  over  the magnificent white vault of the Panteao Nacional and double-coned Igreja de Sao Vicente de Fora

Undoubtedly, Lisbon is romantic from the core, and is sure to charm you with the vintage cable cars that bang and shriek through its backstreets and the classical funiculars that buzz up to miradouros with mystical vistas. In this liven up you fantasies, you ought not to miss out on sight-loaded twist of the city on cable car 28 or a ride in the neo-Gothic Elevador de Santa Justa, Lisbon's sole vertical road lift, architectured by Gustave Eiffel and Raul Mesnier . To truly rewind time, meander at recreation around Baixa's backstreets, which are packed with old fashioned stores exchanging everything from retro-bundled ccanned fish to bowler caps.

Fado, the agonizing, melancholic folk music for which Portugal is well known, has its roots Lisbon's Alfama area. Imbued with nostalgia, it looks back to the jingles of yearning to go home mariners and Moorish songs. Listen to best of Fado at Clube de Fado and Mesa de Frades.
