On the southwest coast of Portugal, Lisbon is often called the "Sunniest Capital in Europe." Belem Tower is probably its best known landmark; this sixteenth-century fortress was the starting point for many Portuguese explorations, and the last sight sailors would see as they left their homeland. Another famous sight: the magnificent Jeronimos Monestary. For children, Lisbon's Oceanarium, one of the largest aquariums in the world, is especially entertaining.1-800-340-8612
