Lisboa

On By ChérineIn Lisbon, Portugal, Travel

My bucket list of cities to visit is extensive and diverse, however I can honestly say that Lisbon was not in the top 10. But when opportunity knocks, one should answer. I did not regret it.

As a seafood lover, Lisbon was the ideal place to be. But the city also has so much more to offer…

Rossio
Rossio – The square is surrounded by cafes where locals and tourists alike enjoy aperitifs and good company.
Azulejos
Azulejos – These painted tiles are found all over the city. On buildings, on the sidewalks, on inner walls. They are beautiful and the colours stupendous.
Jeronimos Cloister 3
Jeronimos Monastery – well worth the visit.

When visiting, bring comfortable shoes that have a good grip. The city is hilly and took it’s toll on our feet, but the trams and funiculars were life savers and full of character and colour.

Pasteis de Belem – Sublime custard dessert and a must
The best seafood in town – Cervejaria Ramiro

And if after feasting on the fresh seafood, you still have the energy, take a walk in the Alfama  district. It is stunning!

Obrigado Lisboa!
