Lisbon is one of the cities that is great to visit in almost every month. If you complain about the wind, well that it nothing, compared to the cold elswhere. No wonder why the prices of the flights are always in the highest range for Europe. Once you spot a good one, run towards in. I visited Lisbon on two occasions. First time on a total 4 day trip to Portugal, where I focused on the things to see and tourist classic areas. Nevertheless, I did I would say great job, by splitting the itinerary for Lisbon in three days Barrio Alto, Alfama and Belem, and focusing on an area per day. The second time, was on a week long trip, because of a conference. This time the focus was more on eating amazing food as it can be in Lisbon, and maybe a bit less sightseeing.
After Checking in in a place in Baixa/Chiado area, and snapping some photos in fron of the Triumphal Arc of Rua Augusta, we take the tram towards Belem. Here, we do the tourist classics for Belem: Pastels of Belem, but we are indulging into savory treats as well, then the Monasterio de Jeronimo, the magnificent Belem Tower, have a second round of sweets in the park in Belem, continuing to the Monument of the Discoveries, and finishing the tour in MAAT the Museum of Art Architecture and Technology. True architectural gem. On the way back to Lisbon we make a stop in LX Factory, historical industrial complex, now home of a bookshop, arts space and lots of interesting places for food.
