Overview of your Lisbon tour

Lisbon is the city where I live since I can remember! To be a "Lisboeta" is to know how to walk with your head up enjoying the bluest of skies, target the best spots for a picture or follow the smell of local espresso. Let me introduce you to the scenic narrow streets of some of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, where locals give us the perception of what means to live in a place founded almost 3000 years ago! A place with light, soul and character. Personally I believe Lisbon wouldn't be as it is if not for our river Tagus, gateway for cruises from worldwide and the most amazing mirror of water you've seen. Vibrant, eclectic, modern and yet traditional, Lisbon as always been a safe harbor for locals and visitors!Come and join me and you'll fall in love with mainland Europe westernmost point!
