I woke up today thinking about Lisbon. No special reason, just some recollections of the imposing medieval buildings, the vintage tram and the tempered weather :)
I can't tell that I really know this beautiful city but for sure is one of the most interesting capitals I have ever visited!
The Castle of São Jorge is an absolute must for all visitors, if not for the castle itself, at least for the wonderful view over the city! Don't expect to enjoy it alone but you can use the rest of the visitors as elements of your countless pictures you are about to take :)
Just below the castle is Alfama, one of the oldest neighborhoods of Lisbon and as every old neighborhood totally charming. We were lucky enough to find an airbnb right in the middle of it and we didn't regret it at all!
Wandering in a city that is built on seven hills is not a piece of cake, especially when you want to see as more as possible in a limited amount of time. Well I had the best walk in Lisbon sitting comfortably on a lovely seat next to the window of a tram 28. I totally recommend it. Just make sure to choose an hour not too crowded and enjoy the ride!
And it is so fun taking pictures from the window. It gives you the perspective of a basketball player and no one ever notices that you are pointing a camera on them :)
Even when you find yourself a bit further from the city center, Lisbon still has a lot to offer. And although coffee shops and tasca restaurants are less, they are potentially much more interesting!
Just looking all those pictures I begin to get tired :)
I can hardly believe that we went to all those places in just two days and we still had the courage to go for a drink the night! And that I took so many pictures! Those are a fraction of the ones I didn't include in the first post that I wrote about this trip in 2018. I guess most of the things I saw are still the same but some might have changed.
I wonder if there is any hiver in Lisbon for a more recent update!
