Year after year, Lisbon continues to shine and rack up international tourism awards. The “City of Seven Hills” took center stage at the finals of the 2026 World Travel Awards Europe, held on Friday, October 17, in Montenegro, where it won in two different categories: Europe’s Leading City Destination and Europe’s Leading Cruise Destination.
Portugal in the Spotlight
