During May we went for a short break to Lisbon in Portugal. I’d been there once before for work and had really wanted to go back to explore it further. We stayed in a lovely boutique hotel with views from our balcony overlooking the river.
And as the hotel was high up, the views extended over the surrounding rooftops.
Walking around the streets I was amazed by the beauty of the many tiled buildings and the variety of patterns…
Even the streets were paved in pattern…
Built on seven hills the streets of Lisbon can be extremely steep. Trams are a great way to get around the city (if you can manage to squeeze in!)
And a visit to Lisbon is not complete (in my opinion) without a visit to Pasteis de Belem for their amazing custard tarts. The custard recipe is a well-kept secret and even the pastry makers don’t know it!
Enjoy!
