Lisbon is honestly my favorite city in the whole world. I’ve been to many places – not all – but never have I loved a city so much. I fear people on Instagram think I’m a bot. Because every time I see someone is visiting Lisbon, I comment that I love it. At least once a year I peruse around the old part of the city. It starts in Restauradores, Rossio, all the way up to Castelo de São Jorge and down through Alfama.
It’s such an inspiring, beautiful and enchanting place. The tiles, the views, the people, the clothes hanging outside windows making the streets smell like soap. I could not brag about Lisbon enough and I can not wait to live there again in the future. It’s definitely where I’m headed one way or another. This particular day, started out a bit cloudy. But as the morning went on, it got warmer and sunnier. My mother and I walked miles up and down just to take pictures and smell Lisbon.
It was the last day of September and the city was packed with tourists. There are so many people I follow on Instagram that went to Lisbon this year. And I love to see the city through their eyes. It makes me very happy to know the world is finally recognizing Portugal as a go-to destination for a vacation. It’s quiet, cheap, pleasant. You have the beach, the countryside, cities. A bit for everyone honestly. And I’m starting to sound like a commercial. I hope you enjoy revisiting my beloved city. And let me know in the comments if you’ve ever been.
