• Porto to Lisbon, last day/night

    May 27, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    We had a nice leisurely morning before leaving our Airbnb at 10am. We watched the Porto version of street sweeping which was interesting! We ubered to the train station with plenty of time. We had a newer, more spacious train on the return trip to Lisbon and they even came around with a snack bar! In Lisbon we found our Airbnb, dropped our bags off so the cleaning could be completed. We were about a 25 min walk into the town center so we went to find the GinJinja we tasted on our food tour. We happened upon a very entertaining group of University women in their uniforms performing their school song. Then we did a bit more shopping, had a quick bite to eat with our mojito and beer, then ended our evening in Lisbon the way we started it back on May 7, with the traditional egg custard tart ( Pastéis de Belém is the original place that started selling Portuguese egg tarts, dating back to 1837. Pasteis de Nata means cream pastries and Pastel de Nata is Portugese and refers to just one egg tart...we couldnt have just one!!) and gelato. We have really enjoyed Portugal and will be back.Read more
