Looking through picture postcards at the red roofs and the colourful dollhouse-like structures could only give you so much satisfaction. However, beholding the beauty of it all with your own eyes gives you the experience of a lifetime. Here are some things to look forward to in Lisbon.
Places to stay
Getting a place fixed up for your stay is but a simple task when in Lisbon. Boutique hotels and serviced apartments are ubiquitous in the area. For an extra special stay, why not try AVANI Hotels and Resorts. Even the experience at a Lisbon Portugal hotel should be something that is stored in your box of good memories after all!
Snacking in Lisbon
It goes without doubt that the authentic food in Lisbon is a ‘must try’ on your trip! Head over to restaurants like Pastéis de Belém to try out the amazing Portuguese tart which is a delicate pastry with silky custard cream. Simply enticing! The artistic treat (ice cream) served at Amorino Chiado is yet another delicacy to look forward to.
Experiences not to be missed
With a hint of romance in the air, Miradouro de Santa Luzia is a beautiful terrace by the church of Santa Luiza. The panoramic view of houses and cathedrals from here is absolutely breathtaking! The unusual Rua Augusta Arch located close to the Tagus River is a monument that is nothing short of a masterpiece when it comes to sculptures. Furthermore, Lisbon holds a ton of other places worth checking out!
Handy things to bring along
The breeze brought forth by the currents of the Atlantic Ocean is quite strong and cool (even during the summer!). That being said it is advisable to pack a nice warm sweater to keep you company on your adventures around the city. It is also best to pack up your best pair of sneakers too as there is much walking to do!
