      Tuk tuk tour around Lisbon

      20 september 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

      》Palácio de São Bento ("Saint Benedict's Palace")

      This palace is the seat of the Assembly of the Portuguese Republic, the parliament of Portugal. Originally constructed in 1598, São Bento has served as the seat of Portugal's parliament since 1834, when the former monastery of the Benedictine Order was 
      dissolved after the Liberal Wars. During the Portuguese constitutional monarchy, the palace served as the seat of the Cortes Gerais, the traditional parliaments of Portugal, until 1910.

      São Bento Mansion, the official residence of the Prime Minister of Portugal, is located within the grounds of São Bento Palace.

      》Basilica da Estrela

      This vast neoclassical monument is one of Lisbon's most eye-catching landmarks.

      Built in the second half of the 18th century to fulfill a vow by Queen Maria I after she gave birth to a son and heir, it has a huge rococo dome and a façade with twin bell towers decorated with an array of statues of saints and allegorical figures.

      The spacious pink and black marble interior contains an elaborate Empire-style tomb of Queen Maria I, and an impressive Christmas manger composed of more than 500 figures.      Meer informatie

      Back in Lisbon

      21 september 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

      》Marcos, the tour guide

      》Quick snap of the Belém Tower

      The tower was built to guard the river entrance into Lisbon’s harbour, following orders from King Dom Manuel (1495-1521), during whose reign Portugal greatly expanded its empire, namely by reaching Brazil and finding a sea route to India. The tower has stonework motifs recalling the Discoveries era, such as twisted rope and the Catholic Crosses of Christ, as well as Lisbon’s patron saint St Vincent and a rhino.

      》Quick snap of the 25 de Abril Bridge

      The Ponte 25 de Abril (25th of April Bridge) is a steel suspension bridge across the Tagus River in Lisbon, capital of Portugal, connecting the city with the municipality of Almada. Reminiscent in design and colouring to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, it was inaugurated in 1966. At almost 2,280m (7,480 ft) long it ranks as the 23rd largest suspension bridge in the world.

      When it was first inaugurated the bridge was named Ponte Salazar in honour of the then Prime Minister and Dictator of Portugal, Dr. António de Oliveira Salazar. Following the Carnation Revolution in 1974 the bridge was renamed Ponte 25 de Abril after the day on which the revolution had taken place.

      》Quick snap of Cristo Rei, the Christ Statue of Lisbon

      The Cristo Rei is one of the most iconic monuments in Lisbon. It was constructed during a deeply religious period of Portugal's history, by a population who were grateful for avoiding the horrors of the Second World War. This religious outpouring was embraced by the nationalistic dictatorship lead by António Salazar and encouraged by the church.

      The original inspiration for Cristo Rei came when Cardinal Patriarch visited Rio de Janeiro in 1934. It took until the late 40s, to allocate the funds to start construction, which began in 1950. It took nine years to complete and was inaugurated on the 17th of May 1959.

      The statue of Christ the King is 28 meters tall and is perched upon a reinforced concrete pedestal that stands at 75 meters. The monument is constructed on the highest point of the Almada region and is 133m above sea level. The monument lies within the diocese of Setubal, but the statue's construction was funded by the Catholic Church of Lisbon.      Meer informatie

      Break time at flat with pastries

      22 september 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

      》Bolas de Berlim – Portuguese Custard Donuts

      It is believed that donuts were introduced to Portugal by Jewish refugees during World War II when they began to work for local pastelarias and cafés. The recipe was later adapted to the local taste, gaining the traditional Portuguese egg cream filling. In the Azores, they are known as malasadas. They are typically served without fillings, only sprinkled with a mix of sugar and cinnamon. In other parts of the country, especially in the Algarve, they are known as Bolinhas de Berlim meaning Berlim little balls, in a reference to the original Berliners. They are slightly bigger than Berliners, and cut halfway through like a sandwich, stuffed with egg custard, chocolate, and other cream-based fillings.Meer informatie

      Cais das Colunas

      22 september 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

      》Cais das Colunas

      Located at Praça do Comércio, in the historical center of Lisbon; its marble steps used to be the noble entrance into the city, through which heads of state and other prominent figures have arrived. It used to give access to ferry boats and other vessels connecting Praça do Comércio to the Tagus' south bank. 

      The pier was named after the two columns (colunas) that can be seen on the side of the main steps. These simple yet elegant pillars were designed by architect Eugénio dos Santos and were part of the city reconstruction plan after the 1755 earthquake nearly destroyed it. The two columns are replicas of those thought to have been in Solomon's temple. They're representative of wisdom and devotion.

      There is no documentation stating exactly when the quay was built. It is only known that it was finished in the late 1700s.

      Cais das Colunas quay was also used to welcome some prestigious figures that have visited the country. That was the case of Queen Elizabeth II, who in 1957 arrived in Portugal and made her way into Lisbon through these two columns.      Meer informatie

      Museu Arqueológico do Carmo

      22 september 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

      》Museu Arqueológico do Carmo (Carmo Archaeological Museum)

      The distinctively modern buildings in the Baixa Pombalina area are considered to be some of the first seismically sound constructions in the world. The Carmo convent which had stood in the center of Lisbon since 1389 was intentionally left roofless as a reminder of the disaster. The property now houses the Museu Arqueológico do Carmo, or Carmo Archaeological Museum, a small archaeological museum dedicated to Portuguese history.

      The museum exhibits pieces related to the history of Lisbon, from pre-historic times through to the Middle Ages and features an impressive collection of medieval religious and heraldic items.

      The sacristy’s small archaeological museum presents an eclectic collection that was donated by archaeologists in the 19th century. Among the treasures from Portugal and elsewhere are the Roman “Sarcophagus of the Muses,” the Gothic tomb of King Ferdinand I, the Baroque tomb of Queen Maria Anna of Austria (queen of Portugal from 1742 to 1750), an Egyptian mummy, and eerie South American mummies (a young boy and a young girl from Peru).

      A stone engraved with gothic lettering can be seen by the entrance, informing visitors that Pope Clement VII granted 40 days of indulgence to "any faithful Christian" who visits this church.

      The church was the burial site of Christopher Columbus’ wife, Filipa Perestrelo, a native of the Portuguese island of Porto Santo, who the explorer married in Lisbon’s Igreja de Santiago. It’s believed that she was buried in the first chapel to the right, but there’s no tomb or inscription attesting that.      Meer informatie

      Avenida da Liberdade

      22 september 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

      》Avenida da Liberdade

      A boulevard in central Lisbon, Portugal, is the most expensive street to rent or buy property on in Portugal. 

      Like many other major European boulevards, Avenida da Liberdade was inspired by Paris’ Champs-Élysées. It's a tree-lined avenue connecting two squares (Praça dos Restauradores and Praça Marquês de Pombal), and is known for its luxury stores.

      The avenue is beautifully paved with Portugal’s traditional cobbled designs, and the artistic pavers are honored with a monument in a corner of Praça dos Restauradores. Inspired by Roman mosaics, these pavements originated in Lisbon during the city’s post-1755 earthquake reconstruction, and on Avenida da Liberdade they feature abstract and floral designs. The designs on the roundabout at the center of Praça Marquês de Pombal create Lisbon’s arms -- two crows on a caravel.

      This is also a theater district, and there are some elegant buildings down the avenue, although many were torn down for newer constructions in the mid-20th century. Some attractive and prize-winning architecture remains, like that found on numbers 206-218, which is adorned with art nouveau glass (it currently houses a Prada store). Many of the other constructions are now hotels, while the center of the avenue is filled with plants, fountains, and statues.

      Going up the hill to the east (on Elevador do Lavra, Lisbon’s oldest funicular), you reach Pena, a more traditional neighborhood with a little-known viewpoint, the Miradouro do Torel.      Meer informatie

      Lissabon

      22 mei, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Am nächsten Tag haben wir uns zu dritt getroffen und sind nach Belém gefahren, um uns die Sehenswürdigkeiten anzuschauen. Für André handelte es sich bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten vor allem um möglichst viele Pasteis de Nata. Nach vier Stück war es dann aber ein bisschen viel (heute ist der letzte Tag und er hat bisher noch keinen mehr wieder angerührt😂). Nachdem wir wieder in die Innenstadt gefahren sind, haben wir ein bisschen Alfama erkundet und haben das Castelo do Sao Jorge angeguckt. Also von Weitem. Die Schlange war nämlich sehr lang 😂 Wir waren danach noch in einer Fotografieausstellung und haben uns dann für einen Nap verabschiedet, bevor wir uns abends zum Essen getroffen haben. Es gab sehr sehr leckere Pizza für uns alle. Danach sind wir zum Sonnenuntergang zu einem Aussichtspunkt gegangen und anschließend etwas durch die Bars im Bairro Alto gezogen. André ist irgendwann auf Tee umgestiegen, da er etwas Magenprobleme hatte (ob das die Pasteis waren?). Wir haben uns noch mit einer Niederländerin aus Fios Hostel getroffen und etwas gekniffelt, bevor André und ich (Lea) dann schon mal in unser Airbnb gegangen sind. Für Fio ging der Abend noch lustig weiter.
      Die Niederländerin und ich sind noch etwas durch die Bars weitergezogen. Die lissabonischen Cocktails haben es auf jeden Fall sehr gut mit uns gemeint und sind definitiv als Kopfschmerzmaterial zu verbuchen. Aber trotzdem wir haben es auf jeden Fall wieder heile ins Hostel geschafft 💁🏼‍♀️      Meer informatie

      Food in Lissabon

      22 september 2022, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Heute haben wir das Restaurant Damas getestet. Es ist so unscheinbar von Außen, so dass wir erstmal fast vorbei gelaufen sind. Die Speisekarte wird tagesaktuell auf den Fliesen an der Wand festgehalten. Was es wohl mit den blauen Giraffen an der Wand auf sich hat? Das Essen war einfach so so so lecker! Ich hatte Thunfisch mit Süßkartoffeln und Carolina einen Beefsalat. Zusammen teilten wir uns noch die Pilze und waren danach pappsatt. Vor allem für wirklich wenig Geld.

      Als Nachtisch gab es „Pasteis de Nata“ für 1,10€ das Stück. Das sind Blätterteigtörtchen mit einer Puddingfüllung. Die gibt es überall in Lissabon 🤤

      Abends ging es zu O Trigueirinho und es gab leckeren 🐟. Das war für uns verhältnismäßig wirklich viel essen an einem einzigen Tag 😅

      Am Tag des Abreise gönnten wir uns noch ein leckeres Frühstück bei Basilio. Empfohlen wurde es im Handbuch von unserer AirBnB Vermieterin. Dort gab es einfach die schönste Toilette 🚽 Dort lief Musik und wir erinnerten uns wieder an das Lied „Rise & Fall“ von Craig David. Seitdem wird es rauf und runter gehört 🎶      Meer informatie
