In the first of a new series of city adventures, art historian Janina Ramirez and art critic Alastair Sooke head to Lisbon, which is becoming one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. Winding through the city's cobbled streets, from its steep hills to the picturesque shore line, the cultural riches the duo encounter reveal the city's fascinating history.
