Everywhere is great architecture of the 18-19th century and the houses and buildings are amazing, it reminds me of St Petersburg 10 years ago. People are smiling despite the number of tourists! We are staying in the fourth floor of a building so have a great view of the sea and city - But I have to say I have a training session just to get back to where we are staying as the streets are so steep, narrow and winding and it is easy to get lost. it makes the Portuguese tarts and gelato easier to digest!!
We arrived in Lisbon 2 days ago and WOW it is a culture shock after Prague and St Petersburg but so far we are really enjoying it here. The streets buzz with a raw energy. It is hot and tourists are everywhere. The locals are friendly and the place interesting. This is a BIG difference from other major European cities.
