Lisboa
Architecture, street art & tiles.

Walking for hours through the neighborhoods of Lisbon, especially in the non-touristic neighborhoods...

New discoveries around every corner. Amazing architecture, stunning street art and a tremendous amount of tiles.

At the end of the afternoon with a drink in a deck chair at the Tejo, makes the day perfect!

This was the last Portugal roadtrip post, up to daily routine and new adventures in Marrakech...

The good life in Lisbon.

roadtrip portugal - lisboa by bike

Lisboa by bike.

Son Minne came to visit us for a few days in Lisbon.

We hired a bike and made a bicycle tour along the Tejo, visited MAAT, Belém, LX factory and had lunch at Cantina.

Minne had a few vintage football stadiums on his list. We cycled over 35 kilometers and discovered many new interesting places in Lisbon.
The cycle paths along the river are perfect and it's a great way to see a lot in one day.
We went Sunday, there is less traffic in the city (on the other hand more cyclists...)

Lisboa

So good to be back in Lisbon.
Back in our house in Baixa.
Three years in a row we have made a roadtrip in Portugal.
Every time we took a different route and discovered new places in Portugal.
Nature, beaches, cities, traditional towns, Portugal is so versatile.

When planning the route, we already knew beforehand, we wanted to end our journey in Lisbon.
Even though it is entirely against our nature, to visit one place three times in a row, we stayed 5 nights in our apartment in Baixa House.
This time we booked 'Gulbenkian' with a balcony on the 4th floor. (we could live here)
Life in Lisbon is wonderful, relaxed atmosphere, good food, beautiful architecture, sunset drinks at the river Tejo.
We try to avoid the tourist spots and go to the left where everyone goes to the right.
