I didn’t know what to expect in Lisbon. I probably should have done more research before we went, honestly… you live and learn. After a very bumpy landing in the Portuguese capital, the first thing I noticed on the ground was the colour. From bright flowers to crystal clear skies and fantasy white churches just crying out to be turned into postcards, Lisbon is a feast for the eyes. A city on the ocean, it is prone to earthquakes, a fact that is acutely apparent at the ruins of the Carmo Monastery, where King Fernando II watches over what remains of the crypt. It is a city of boats and watch towers, like the Torre de Belem, and the home of some of history’s greatest explorers, including Vasco de Gama, whose discoveries seem to be commemorated on almost every corner. In Lisbon, I saw all of the things I love to see when I visit a new place; churches and trains stations, unusual graffiti and fountains and pretty shops… and yet I came home feeling as though I had scarcely scratched the surface of a true Portuguese experience. I think part of that had to do with my food experiences; just a little travel tip from me to you – Lisbon is a very hard place to be a vegetarian!
Je ne savais pas à quoi m’attendre à Lisbonne. J’avoue, j’aurais probablement dû faire plus de recherches avant de partir… Leçon tirée. Apres un atterrissage agité à la capitale Portugaise, j’ai d’abord remarqué la couleur. La Lisbonne est un régal pour les yeux, avec des fleurs vifs, un ciel bleu cristal et des églises blanc fantasme, chacun parmi eux digne d’être représenté sur une carte postale. Une ville au bord de l’océan, elle est encline à des tremblements de terre, un fait qui se voit très facilement dans les ruines du monastère Carmo, où le roi Ferdinand II veille sur ce qui reste de la crypte. Elle est une ville de navires et de tours de guet, comme le Torre de Belem, et elle a produit quelques-uns des plus grands explorateurs de l’histoire, y compris Vasco de Gama, les découverts duquel sont commémorer dans presque chaque rue. À Lisbonne, j’ai vu toutes les choses que je cherche comme touriste ; des églises et des gares de train, des graffitis originaux et des fontaines et des jolies boutiques… et pourtant j’ai retourné chez moi avec l’impression de ne pas vraiment avoir connu la ville, au moins partiellement à cause de mes expériences avec la cuisine Portugaise. Si vous êtes végétarienne, je vous conseille d’apporter vos propres repas à Lisbonne si possible… !
Je suis portugaise et effectivement, le Portugal c'est beau. Lisbonne est une belle grande ville. Effectivement, être végétarienne là bas c'est très compliqué. Toutes les spécialités sont composés principalement de porc. Tres peu de poisson même si tout le monde pense qu'on mange de la morue à tous les repas.
I couldn't agree more with what you said. I've been to Lisbon recently and had a great time! The city (and also around) is full of beautiful, interesting sights! Cannot wait to go there one more time;) And those postcards-like-photos are indeed so;)
Ah my home country…well my parents but I have visited and lived there for several months. I love love love Portugal and I totally agree it is very difficult to find a vegetarian meal in the entire country, but I must say nothing beats portuguese sweets. 🙂
Wow these photos are so beautiful! I didn't know the city was so stunning, thank you for sharing these photos with us readers! Thank you for your kind comment on my blog! I'm glad that you share my love for Audrey!
Je ne suis jamais allée à Lisbonne, mais tes photos pleines de couleurs sont géniales. Elles me donnent le goût de voyager. Je suis ravie d'avoir découvert ton blogue 🙂 http://www.lelivingandco.blogspot.ca
Oh…MY…GOODNESS how lovely are your photos! Lisbon never crosses my mind when I think of places to tour…Oddly enough my mind always goes to eastern Europe! Also when I hear Lisbon I think of Casablanca! Have fun honey…even if it is hard to eat.
How fun! I seriously love reading/ seeing all of your posts because your photographs are so artistically taken and always stunning! And of course you're an awesome writer 🙂
I love the way you have captured Lisbon with your lovely photos – this brought back memories of my visit a few years ago (I do remember eating a lot of meat and seafood) http://missbbobochic.blogspot.co.uk/
The beautiful color of flowers in 1; the sky in 3 – great shot; the train station arches in 4; sunlight, rooftops & the panoramic view in 8; warmth of burning candles at a church in 10; fountain outside a dreamlike white church in 13..
