Budget travel to Lisbon

25 June - 28 June

I have been dreaming about travelling to Lisbon since I have read a book “Night train to Lisbon” by Pascal Mercier.This book impressed me a lot.

Lisbon is a city of ocean wind that pleasantly cooling you. Smell of fresh and grilled fish. Cafes with tasty pastries and smell of coffee on every corner. Narrow streets that goes up and down. Old trams. Houses decorated with colourful tiles. It’s almost impossible not to fall in love with this amazing city….

I want to share my travel experience in Lisbon with you, thus I realize that there are plenty of stories about the Lisbon.

And I will write the budget of my travel here for those who are interested in.

Day 1 in Lisbon (Basílica da Estrela - Tram 28 - Commerce Square - Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcantara)

Day 2 in Lisbon (Pasteis de Belem - Jeronimos Monastery - Berardo Collection Museum - Torre de Belem)

Day 3 in Lisbon (Lavra funicular - Rua Garett - Bica funicular - Sao Bento Palace)

26 june, 2015

Today was exactly that kind of a day when a lot of things happened but there is not too much to write about. In the morning I departed for the walking, I didn’t have exact plan and decided to let things slide by their own. read more →

Day 4 in Lisbon (National Pantheon - Alfama - Lisbon Cathedral - Trindade Brewery - Eduardo VII Park)

27 june, 2015

There was my last full day in Lisbon (tomorrow I am going to Peniche to surf camp) and my first destination is National Pantheon. Mostly because of flea market that is held there every Tuesday and Saturday. I read that market is usually closed after midday but I was there around 3 pm and there were still many of the sellers. read more →
