A day in Lisbon

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal. What comes to mind when you mention Portugal? People who like food may think of Portuguese egg tarts and all kinds of seafood, people who like football may think of Ronaldo, and people who are interested in politics and economy may think of its colonial empire established in the era of great navigation. The following is the one-day tour route of Lisbon, mainly along Tagus Port, from the vicinity of the commercial plaza to Belem Tower, then by car to the international park, and then from the international park back to the commercial plaza. I hope this article can help my friends who are traveling in Lisbon.

Before you leave, you'd better buy a 24-hour bus ticket at the subway station, so you don't have to buy a ticket after the day's shopping.

The route in the morning is Lisbon before discovery. Take the tram 15E from St. Jorge Castle-Saint Lucia Observation Deck-Lisbon Cathedral-St. Justa Elevator-Commercial Plaza to the vicinity of Imperial Square Garden, geronimo Abbey-Imperial Square Garden-Discovery Monument-Belem Tower.

The afternoon route is to explore modern Lisbon. First, take the bus and subway from Belem Tower to the International Park, then visit the Da Gama Tower near the International Park, stroll in the harbor, then take the bus back to the commercial plaza, watch the seagulls watch the sunset in Cais das Colunas near the commercial plaza, and finally go to the Time out market for dinner and enjoy all kinds of delicious food.

What we are seeing now is the renovated building, which is of national significance in Portugal. As a medieval fortress with superior geographical location, it consists of castles, the remains of the original palace and some elite urban areas. Castle is the last line of defense for the elites who lived in the city.

St George's Castle needs tickets, and we need 10 euros when we buy it.

After visiting St. George's Castle, I came to the observation deck of St. Lucia Island. The terrain is undulating from high to low, and I need to cross all kinds of streets. Lisbon is small, and the whole city is particularly exquisite. The ground of the street is covered with various patterns made of small tiles, and residents facing the street will decorate their homes carefully.

When you come out of the street and cross a road, you will see the famous tram in Lisbon. At this time, the weather was fine. Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, a yellow tram slowly passed by the red house, and it was beautiful when taking pictures. In fact, many local painters paint colorful pictures on the cloth with the theme of trams. You can see trains shuttling through Lisbon Cathedral, Commercial Plaza and Augusta Street in colorful paintings on the street. ...

As you can see in the picture below, the tower is decorated with many Manuel-style symbols, such as thick stone ropes around the tower, dotted with stone knots, armillary sphere or Jesus cross and other animal and plant elements. One of the stone rhinos is quite eye-catching. On the base of the sentry box, it shows the achievements of Portuguese navigators in overseas exploration.

At night, there are still many sailboats sailing on the surface of Tagus. The old man came to the river with a bag of food, which attracted many seagulls to feed, so there was the following picture.
