Lisbon, Portugal

Visitors to Portugal will find that luxury comes cheapest in Lisbon. What's also nice about the Iberian Peninsula is how easy it is to escape the crowds by taking a short bus ride or walk across the countryside to reveal rarely visited places.

Five-star hotels average around $160 a night and shopping in Lisbon offers an abundance of beautiful treasures from Asia such as porcelain, silks, rare gems and silks. Lisbon is also a major European hub and for that reason flights are competitively priced.

The Lisbon Oceanarium is the largest in Europe that offers visitors a unique and enchanting experience. Fairytale palaces with sandy beaches nearby make this destination a place to relax and enjoy long dinners to soak up everything Lisbon has to offer.
