When I went to Portugal in July, it was my first time leaving the States. Lisbon was my favorite city. I really liked the Belem district, and my boyfriend even agreed to go to the National Coach Museum with me (down the street from Mosteiro dos Jeronimos). It’s not an all day activity, but it’s fascinating all the same.
Don´t miss the Chiado area where a visit to the art gallery Alecrim 50 is recomended.You can walk by one of the most emblematic places in Lisbon, central and unique, full of memories of a cultural entourage of artists, writers and bohemians of the XIX-XXth century.At Alecrim 50 you can find various works by young and promising artists of contemporary art, at reasonable prices. http://www.alecrim50.pt
If you’re into art and Antiques, then you should visit Câmara dos Azuis, at Av. elias Garcia 157 A/B .In the centre of Lisbon, we find a gallery where Contemporary Art blends with Antiques, and where a clear sense of detail and authenticity presides the sensible selection of pieces, each of them unique for its quality and character.
Just west of Lisbon is the small town of Estoril. Its southern facing beaches have the finest sand in Europe. The many beach-side cafes offer a great spot to soak up the sun, have a glass of wine and do, well, nothing!
Parque das Nações, the area by the river in the northwestern sector of the city which hosted Expo ‘98, has much to offer. The Oceanário (aquarium) is worth the trip, but skip the nearby Pavilhão do Conhecimento – Ciência Viva (science museum) if you are not accompanied by children. There are amusing and fun water fountains. There is loads of shopping at the Vasco da Gama mall. A casino and events pavilion round out the experience.
If you visit Lisbon you must do a panoramic flight! After visit the historic Lisbon me and my boyfriend went to Cascais. We went to Tires, a small airport and did a panoramic flight. It was an amazing experience! We saw the Guincho, Sintra, Cascais, river tejo, lisbon! Amazing!See the company that took us: http://www.airnimbus.pt
On a recent trip to Lisbon my husband and I decided to do our sight seeing by bike and ended up renting high end bikes from http://www.cycling-rentals.com. We cycled along the coast in nearby Cascais to beutiful Guincho beach then up to the mountains of Sintra. The bikes they supplied were excellent were fantastic and the scenery breathtaking!
Like the New York Times says in the itineraries suggestion if you have two days to visit Lisbon you have to go to Sintra (45 minutes by train). In Sintra you MUST go to Quinta da Regaleira, one of the most astonishing monuments of Portugal. A magical palace with a mysterious garden with lakes, caves and the high light initiation well, where you are invited do travel to inner world by the same nine levels as Dante did in the Divine Comedy!!!Check the guided tours, and your experience will be much more complete!
The best way to experience Portugal is by bike. I went on a bike tour over the summer provided by Cycling through the Centuries, http://www.cycling-centuries.com, from Lisbon to the south of Portugal. It was fantastic. I highly recommend contacting them if you are traveling through the Iberian Peninsula.
in Portugal,the industrial town of Vila Nova de Famalicão in northern Portugal, which lies about 18km south-west of Braga and has a history of watchmaking.
Come to portugal, and not only to lisbon, and see our culture and hospitality…we are a big country and all of you are my invited.
The streets pf Bairro Alto by night, e.g. after 9 P.M Because it’s unique and impossible to remake anyhwere else.
