The final day in Lisbon and Porto report after I get back to Poznan.
Postcard from Pinhao
Portugal, day 4: Lisboa & Porto (Piotr)
The day started with a brisk walk up the stairs from Praca Martin Moniz to the Castelo de Sao Jorge, followed by a couple of hours of climbing the Castle walls and nice city views. Then downhill to the Cathedral and Alfama for late lunch, and Santa Apolonia station. The three-hour train ride to Porto was rather uneventfull. Finally, fast-walked from the Campanha station to Bolhao for a quick look around just before the sunset.
Lisbon…
And now Porto…
Portugal, day 3: Lisboa & Cascais (Piotr)
The day started with a lazy walk down to the river to Praca do Comercio, along the familiar sights such as the Elevador de Santa Justa and the Cathedral, and the Castelo almost always in sight as well. The Praca was sunny and full of tourists, relaxed. I continued towards Belem on 7 km tram ride along the river (local tram 15, 90% tourists). First stop, the Jeronimos Monastery, an hour rest at the Tropical Botanical Garden, and then a short walk to the Belem Tower. Walked around a bit, visited the war memorial and then walked over to Alges to continue to Cascais by train, exploring some modern architecture on the way. Hanged around town until dinner and returned by train to Cais do Sodre to catch some night views of Lisbon to close the day.
