Lisbon, Portugal: A destination guide for golfers

One of Europe's most historic capitals, Lisbon, Portugal, is a popular draw among tourists and golfers alike.

Far from the Algarve Region in the south of Portugal, Lisbon's surroundings offers similar quality golf and beaches, but add an urban flair. There's plenty to do off the golf course in Lisbon, and the locals make sure you get a good meal and fine wine.
