 The Tee Times Lisbon ladies only golf holiday gives our ladies a chance to explore the fascinating and wonderful city of Lisbon as well as giving them the chance to play the fabulous golf courses of Ribagolfe and Santo Estevao. The courses are all situated in one area, which is just a 30 minute drive across the Vasco da Gamma Bridge, which treats you to some wonderful views of the River Tagus during your journey. Each course has its own unique character and will provide you with a wonderful day’s golf in quiet and friendly surroundings. Lisbon is steeped in history and during your visit Tee Times recommend mixing site seeing with your golf as you will not be disappointed. The Tivoli Tejo is situated in the Expo area of Lisbon which gives our ladies a quiet but convenient location for their stay as it is only a 5 minute by taxi to the city centre and 10 minutes from the airport.Lisbon has attracted many visitors over the years and there are some interesting things to see or do. And with its springtime temperatures during the winter and relatively cool summers it makes for an ideal destination whatever the time of year. Lisbon has over 20 centuries of history, it was conquered from the Moors in 1147 and like many European cities it is split into several areas called quarters. The Alfama quarter is one of the oldest areas and it retains much of its original buildings which were miraculously untouched during the earthquake of 1755. The old quarters of Castelo and Mouraria are adjacent to Alfama and are set on the western and northern slopes of the hill that is crowned by St George’s Castle. Each year festivals bring the streets alive in these areas, celebrating the popular saints.The Graca quarter with its churches of Sao Vicente de Fora and Santa Engracia is well worth a visit and is only a short walk from the other areas. Over the years Lisbon has become very cosmopolitan and many new buildings have been carefully built so as to blend in with the old. The docks area which will eventually take you to the April 25th Bridge is well worth a wander along as there are many monuments and museums of interest. It is here that you will find the Belem tower, the sentinel over the River Tagus that protects the entrance into Lisbon. You will also find Jeronimos monastery, with its masterpieces of Manueline architecture which has been classified as a UNESCO international heritage site. You will also find the cultural centre of the Belem quarter. The city centre is always bustling with life and with its wide streets and pavements a day spent wandering around its many shops, cafes and restaurants is a day worth spent. There are many monuments and statues in its many squares and a trip up The Elevador de Santa Justa, an iron-cast outdoor lift, which opened in 1901, will give you magnificent panoramic views of the city from its top level. There is so much to see and do in and around Lisbon that we cannot list it all so Tee Times recommend that you book one of our ladies only Lisbon golf breaks to experience this exciting city for yourself and it will give you the opportunity to play some great golf courses, which will make you want to return time and again.
