About Lisbon
The Portuguese city of Lisbon nowadays is considered the most western capital of Europe. The city in general doesn t have a very large number of various historical monuments and sightseeings, as back in 1755 the city was almost completely destroyed by the strong earthquake, which also caused the huge tsunami and even the fire. But nevertheless, it was quite soon reconstructed very fast and since then it represents the modern Lisbon as we all used to see it nowadays.
Even though, a very large part of the ancient local sightseeings was destroyed, there is still a quite large number of gorgeous architectural sightseeing of the city that remind all the foreign visitors and even the local citizens about the great past of the capital. Gorgeous cathedrals, large palaces, unusual monuments of the Portuguese kings, large green parks, numerous old museums and art galleries - these are the main things that annually attract thousands and thousands of foreign travelers to this city from all over the world.
But the main thing, which is totally worth doing, while staying in Lisbon is definitely walking on foot along the numerous cozy streets of the city with their gorgeous and unusual old houses and their beautifully decorated walls, tiny balconies with lots of flowers, crowds of the local citizens and that charming Portuguese language, which will never leave abyone indifferent with its beautiful sounds.
