Sunny city Lisbon has its own unique and characteristic traditions for him. This is a city where local residents never hurry anywhere and are in a hurry, they love to sleep very much. Arriving here, you should simply relax and enjoy what is happening around!
Another remarkable feature of the hospitable residents of Lisbon can be called their endless kiss and hugs. They hug and kiss them with everything in a row, even with unfamiliar people. Walking around the city can be found not one group of young people with a poster "Free hugs". Having poured and mocking, you get a bunch of positive emotions and a huge positive charge!
Lisbon is a unique city with its unique and diverse streets and streets, cozy courtyards, drowning in colors and greenery and greatest areas. Walking on the streets of Lisbon, which, because of the hilly terrain, are lowered down, they rise up, unpredictably intertwined among themselves, creating real labyrinths! But the shoes should be comfortable and no heels! Otherwise, risks to stay without them and with damaged legs - the streets are paving slaves, and there is quite a long distance between the stones.
The capital of Portugal is quite quiet and calm, but in the evening everything comes to life here, and life beats the key. Cafes work in the afternoon, and the restaurants of the clock with eight in the evening. Looking at the cafe, you can try one of the local Portuguese dishes - Galyau (coffee with milk, but necessarily only in a grown glass cup). Pastel de Nata is offered to Galyão - Cakes, which are prepared only in Lisbon, on a very rare recipe and are considered delicious in Portugal. Another dish that I really liked, and which also represent how the brand is a cod under various sauces and prepared in different versions (bakalua), well, and to the fish is mandatory port.
Lisbon architectural buildings are very diverse. Many cathedrals and churches, absolutely diverse both externally and internally, where you can find an incredible mosaic, ancient tires.

Alpham - Interested in with its endless streets, which go to the stairs, the height and the steepness of which amazes, amazing views of the capital of Portugal, there are a lot of souvenir shops and shops, light houses with a tiled red color literally sticking together to each other.
If you want to spend not only in the evening, but also night, then it is necessary to visit the area by Bairra Altu - it is here that you can hear the guitar under the sounds of the guitar in every bar, and in the dance bar (salsotek) you can learn and dance salsa!

Well, for the defers there is nothing better than the zoo! The Lisbon zoo has a large territory, but, despite this, it is very well-kept, cozy, animals are very active and clean. The atmosphere of real fun reigns here, falling into the zoo, just want to smile! An unusual cableway (you can ride without limitation), while rolling in which animals can be considered and their life from different angles. I really liked the representations of birds and dolphins. And mischievous and funny monkeys are something, here are a lot of them and different types! Feline representatives here is as great variety, well, and the brown bears are just chic! Having acted, you can have a snack in one of the cafes located on the territory of the zoo.
