One of the most spectacular attractions in Lisbon is the Cristo Rei. You can get an elevator to the top of this statue of Christ, which is over 100 meters tall, and enjoy breathtaking views over Lisbon. Due to the city's hilly gradients, it's understandable that there are so many funiculars in the city which will transport you to where you want to go. The city is home to some impressive architecture, including St. George's Castle which is located on a hill. If you keep walking on further beyond the castle you will come across the Roman Theater Museum which is also well worth a visit.
Visiting the different botanical gardens is a must when in Lisbon. It is also worth going to the city's zoo to see all the interesting and exotic animals featured there. The nightlife in Lisbon is exceptional, with a wide range of bars and clubs to suit all tastes. You'll often be able to catch some live music at one of the chic new clubs where they play a variety of genres such as pop, rock and jazz.
