Lisbon: Wild beauty of Europe. You will take a bus from Lisbon and it will leave you on the wildest coast of Europe in two hours. Anyway Kas in Turkey, this charming town in Portugal for that. The only difference is that it is easily accessible via a straight path.
So don’t think of Lisbon as just a city holiday, it’s best to combine it with the sea. In the Algarve region of the Atlantic Ocean, which is similar to the Mediterranean, in Lagos you will find the most beautiful beaches of the old continent surrounded by stunning cliffs. Dona Ana and Meia Praia are the most assertive.
DO
– Visit the neighborhood of Lisbon. In particular, stroll through Alfama, discover the narrowest streets, secret passages, small authentic shops of the city.
– The Gülbenkyan Museum is not in the city center, but it is not too far. Be sure to stop by; it has a very strong collection and is cheaper than similar museums in Europe.
– Read Portuguese literature. In particular, track down the introverted poet Fernando Pessoa and the giant writer José Saramago. It is also highly recommended that you watch ‘Night Train to Lisbon’ starring Jeremy Irons before you go.
DON’T DO
– Don’t think, “The city is small, a day or two is enough.” In the center of Lisbon, there is a bit of Istanbul, especially Galata taste. So a surprise gushes through every street. Take the time.
– The fado houses in the Alfama neighborhood look authentic but choose carefully where you live, sometimes it’s a money trap. A Tasca do Chico B in the Bairro Alto district has free fado on Mondays and Wednesdays.
