Five days in a European capital decidedly different: slow, melancholy and thoughtful.
Beaten by the wind and full of light. Retro but smiling. Perfect for a quiet holiday in pairs.

Perfectly also visited in a short time in less than a week you can still afford to visit it without any trouble from the Rossio Rua Augusta, with a stop at the cafe A Brasileira, where he used to entertain Pessoa. Absolutely unmissable visit to the Castle of Sao Jorge, this is just ruins, but there is a beautiful in any direction and you can admire the incredible views.

The rest of the entire city is a continuous salts and downs ... all built on hills and steep climbs with his wonderful wooden tram. Consigliatissimo the purchase of subscription to the tram, you can buy it in Figueira da praha, less expensive of CityPass sold at the airport and completely functional. For those who like to walk down from the castle to the cathedral If patriarchy. In fact, another must is the district dell'Alfama: infamous and popular, but full of scents and colors for emotional synesthesias unique.

A warning: the Portuguese are really hard to understand! when you read it you understand easily, but when it comes to talk ... things change! though I speak very well English and French and Spanish a little 'maccheroni functional but sometimes the only way to order what we wanted to eat was mentioned directly! This is also the main center of the pastry (the confitaria nacional), but Portugal are the other patients and in the end you can have what you want!

Very nice tower of Belem, which can also be reached by tram, also in the town of Belem is absolutely not miss a visit to the Monastery of Jeronimo, the entrance to the church is provided free to enter the cloister there is a ticket but absolutely worth the pain because it is a real jewel of art manuelino!
