Lisboa

During my holiday I even found time for my hobby - photography. Here are some photos taken ​​in the nooks and crannies of Lisbon. I have also captured some monuments and attractions.

The 25 de Abril Bridge is a suspension bridge crossing the Tejo River. It connects Lisbon to Almada.

The Santuário Nacional de Cristo Rei was built with the support of all of the Portuguese bishops in order to give thanks for Portugal’s absence from the Second Word War.

Lisbon is really a charming, easy-going city. During the day, life centres around relaxing in the capital’s numerous cafes, squares and gardens, while the city bursts into life at night in the bars and restaurants of Bairro Alto and Alfama

Chiado and Bairro Alto, are the city’s main nightlife areas, teeming with fashion boutiques, bars, clubs and fado houses with excellent Brazilian & African music.

Museu Arqueológico do Carmo

The Alfama district is Lisbon’s oldest, dating back to Moorish times and retains a traditional atmosphere. Lisbon’s cathedral, Sé de Lisboa, and the Castelo de São Jorge are located on Lisbon's highest hill. There are tremendous views from the impressive walls and towers of the castle, as well as from the viewpoint, Miradouro de Santa Luzia.

Torre de Belém

I love this peaceful urban garden situated in Belém

Modern Lisbon is characterised by the new development of the Lisbon Exhibition Centre and Parque das Nações built for Expo 98 and served by the stunning modern architecture of the Gare do Oriente station on the city metro. The riverside area houses the Oceanario, which is Europe’s largest aquarium, and the 140m tall Torre Vasco da Gama, designed in the shape of a sail.
