Lisbon. First meeting
Description:
In our short trip around the city, you can get acquainted with the centuries-old history of one of the most ancient capitals of Europe. Walking through the labyrinth of narrow streets of the old city, on stone stairs between overhanging houses, seeing hanging underwear and meeting countless small shops and restaurants with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and roasted sardines, you will feel the vitality of one of the oldest areas not only of Lisbon, but also of Europe. Yes, yes! The smell of freshly brewed coffee and roasted sardines! After all, hereditary sailors and port workers have lived in Alfama since the 16th century.
From the observation decks you can enjoy the beautiful views of Lisbon and the red tiled roofs of houses.
After enjoying the extravagances of Lisbon, we follow past the Cathedral of Lisbon to the area that historically took place as a business, central one. And before you will open a dramatic change in the architectural styles of the area. The houses here are elegant, the streets are strictly perpendicular, as if they were delineated under a ruler. All the lower floors are designed for commercial activities, and all higher - for residents. You can also admire one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world. Rusiu Station, built in the late 19th century in the neomanueline style, has an ornate eight-door facade combined with 18 windows and a clock at the top. Rusiu Station and the Avenida Palace Hotel are among a number of late Portuguese romanticism. The station ranks second in the world for its architectural beauty.
