I know it is not a surprise for anyone
anymore, but I am a great fan of visiting new places and getting to know other
cultures. It was my very first time in Lisbon and region. Lisbon is a very cute
city, not very big, not very luxurious, but very cute.
I really enjoyed visiting Belém, even
without having tried the world-widely famous Pastelzinho de Belém (sweet
delicacy). We visited the place where vessels left in 1500 before they reached
and “discovered” Brazil.
Saint Jorge Castle is a very beautiful
place as well.
Vasco da Gama bridge - The so-called longest bridge of Europe, or
something, is really impressive AND long. (Legend has it that it is a
Portuguese habit to try and build the biggest most impressive things to feature
on Guiness book)
The Nation’s Park is a lovely modern part
of the city, worth it to visit.
Caiscais, which is a small beach town
around Lisbon, completely worth it the visit. Breathtaking views and the sea!
Sintra, which is another small town around Lisbon, has castles and palaces. We went to Quinta da Regaleira, very interesting and beautiful.
So, I checked Lisbon and region
sightseeing. Do not miss the next blog entry about particularities and
curiosities about Portugal and Portuguese people. It will be full of funny
stories we went through there.
