The City is especially thriving in the Tourism Dimension, where it has been experiencing a particularly high increase in searches of 42%. The Portuguese Capital has become gradually more popular over the past years, which is why Lisbon is currently ranked 11th within the Tourism Dimension, narrowly missing the Top 10.
