The charm of Lisbon

Breakfast in the European capital in the bakery Pastelaria Versailles with delicious pastries and coffee - what more do you need for a cheerful and good morning?

This is not only the main historical landmark of the city, but also an excellent observation deck, which offers beautiful views of the capital.

And for lunch we'll go to a famous Portuguese restaurant. What wines, fish dishes, especially tuna! Well, what do you want? The sea is nearby... Desserts are magical too.

Geronimos Monastery is a unique monument of Portuguese architecture, striking in its size and late Gothic style. Closed for visits on Mondays.

So we got to the discoverers' monument. Just think: to live on the edge of the earth, to see this vast ocean every day, and only with a sixth sense of awareness of what is, there is even further some uncharted land! What a craving for discovery, if they boldly persuaded kings and sponsors, and threw themselves into the raging waves, and opened new lands! And so, the grateful descendants created a monument to them, the brave discoverers: it is made in the form of a caravel of white stone, on the bow of which stands the figure of the inspirer of the Portuguese geographical discoveries - Infante Henry the Navigator, and behind him on both sides - another 32 figures of outstanding personalities of the era. And Vasco da Gamma there, and Fernand Magellan, and Jacques de Mallorca, and Nicolas Coelho, and other involved - missionaries, travelers, discoverers of uncharted lands, in a word.

The sightseeing is closed on Mondays.

Then we will drive on the picturesque bridge over Tagus and admire the wonderful monument of Christ! It is 113 meters above sea level and gives its embrace to both the sea and the land and to everyone who is on it. Majestic, kind and humble. Krishta Ray, the King of Christ, is the best...

One of the best seafood restaurants in the Portuguese capital. Closed on Sundays.

This square is known as the starting point for Portugal's geographical discoveries and as the city's shopping center.

Pedro IV Square is the official name, but if you ask about it this way, the locals will not understand you. They used to call her Rossiou. It is located in Lisbon's historic centre. Beautiful square, spacious, facades in Portuguese Baroque style, walk, admire and enjoy. Don't forget to take pictures!

We were in a place where we couldn't smell our feet anymore! Hurry up in the shower and the long-awaited rest!
