Sorry what? You thought I was done with telling you about my Portuguese adventures? I didn’t even get to the best part yet! So I’ll keep going.
A lot of people touring Lisbon forget to stop at the Parque das Nações. This part of the city is the modern part of the Portuguese capital. Most of it was built for the World Fair of Lisbon held in 1998. Even though the site is now 12 years old, it still clearly reflects the desire for a new and innovative world.
On our second day in Lisbon, we decided to go explore one of the most ancient and typical area of the city: the Alfama, and the famous Castelo de São Jorge.
Let me introduce you to a little series of articles that will wash away your Back-to-School sadness: my Lisbon Diaries. As some of you know, I have been exploring Lisbon for a week in August. In these articles I will depict day by day my discovery of the Portuguese capital. There is a lot to share and I want to share every bit of my memories, so let’s get started!
Let me start with Day 1, a.k.a our Arrival in Lisbon and our first diner there, on Praça do Comercio.
