Why I love Lisbon and Portugal
It´s been already some time since I feel at home in Lisbon, I simply love this city!! :-) It´s a known fact that every place has its advantages and disadvatages, everywhere you go, but not anywhere you can feel at home, in time, it´s true, not immediately.
Why Lisbon?
Why Lisbon?
- because of the relaxed atmosphere, full of latinity
- for the friends I made and the great people I´ve met
- even if it´s a capital, it´s pretty small comparing to others and not depersonalised as a city
- because the ocean is near
- because it has the delicious "pasteis de nata" and "pasteis de Belém"
- because it´s a warm and sunny weather almost all the time
- the Portuguese are calm, relaxed, kind and nice people
- because almost everybody speaks English
- for the cultural diversity - you can find here people from all over Europe and also from other continents
- because the notion of rushing doesn´t exist, and you can be late even 1 hour, without being something out of the common (that´s an advantage when you´re not the one who´s waiting obviously :P )
- because the city has many things to see: the traditional quarters, squares, a lot of monuments with impressive architectures, monasteries, museums, palaces, castles, bridges, in Lisbon and also near by (Sintra, Belém)...anyway it´s impossible to get bored :-)
And Portugal in general for its touristic richness and the calm and relaxed way of its people.
Amo-te, Portugal! :-)
Amo-te, Portugal! :-)
