University of Lisbon Botanical Garden

After a pretty rough 9 and a half hour overnight train from Madrid to Lisbon we arrived at our hostel at 8:30am in the morning on the 18th. That evening we explored the area around us which included Bairro Alto, Chiado and a beautiful miradouro (viewpoint) where we had some beer and watched the sun set. On the 19th we spent the whole day exploring the centre of the city including the Arco Augusta and the Castelo S. Jorge which allowed us to have the most amazing views of the whole city and the sea. On the 20th we enjoyed our last lie in of our trip and then took lunch down to Chiado square. That evening we ventured to the opposite side of the city (which included extremely steep hills) and took a bottle of Sangria to share at another amazing and romantic miradouro where we watched the sun set again! On the 21st we left our hostel at 11am and sat in the first miradouro all day lapping up the view and the sun for 6 hours before catching our overnight train to Hendaye. We are now spending a night in a motorway hotel on the France-Spain border before getting another overnight train tomorrow to Paris! Our last stop!Leer más
