Lisbon

08Nov

In Rome, be a Roman. In Lisbon, be a “lisboeta”. To be a local in Lisbon is to enjoy a coffee with a custard tart with cinnamon on top and drink a “ginjinha” on cold days. It is to stroll through Chiado to see the shops. It is to be by the river in communion with the Tagus or wait patiently for the sunset on a belvedere. Join us in this simple and peaceful way of life. We will be more than happy to welcome you!

Streets of Lisbon

25Oct

One of the charms of Lisbon lies in its streets. Narrow, sometimes steep, the streets of the historic center are a tangle of white and small houses, with clothes hanging from the windows, adorned with colorful ornaments or the image of Saint Anthony. They are full of life and warm people who say “Bom dia” (Good morning) to passers-by. Get inspired in this simple, genuine way of life that lurks around every corner and leaves an unforgettable mark in your heart.

Fado

11Oct

Lisbon is, undutably, a breathtaking city with its landscapes over the river. However, there is a century old tradition that has become the symbol of the city, of the entire country and its people – Fado. Fado is inspired from a simple yet very emotional language accompanied by the Portuguese guitar. In every corner and alley of Alfama, Bairro Alto, Madragoa or Mouraria you can listen to the song of Lisbon. Come to listen and feel it in your heart!

Courses in Lisbon

13Sep

At first glance, it may seem that Lisbon is not a cycling city, after all, we have 7 hills! But we also have valleys, such as the Chelas Valley, and the entire riverside front, stretching from Parque das Nações to Belém. There are more than 60 km of bicycle paths, but we highlight the 7 km route between Cais do Sodré and Belém and, at the opposite extreme, the 5 km bikeway between Vale do Silêncio Park and the modern district of Parque das Nações. And the big news is a shared bike system that is already being tested. Enjoy to know the city in an original way and be dazzled by the green areas and unique landscapes that can be found in Lisbon. We are waiting for you!

Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara

Today we introduce you to the “Miradouro” (viewpoint) of São Pedro de Alcântara. Located next to Bairro Alto, it was built in the XIX century and today is one of the must see places for travelers coming to Lisbon. We invite you to sit down on the garden benches and admire the view over the Avenue (Liberdade), Graça, the Castle, the Romanic Cathedral and Tagus River. Right next door, be sure to visit the Church and Museum of São Roque (1553) in Trindade Coelho Square.
