So, I had no other option than to quit my day job hoping that I would not be an unknown face in the world anymore. It was a long time ago when I thought to give up my job for someone less known who might have been in a desperate need to exploit his skills. To my utter surprise, my boss found my replacement in a week, so it’s good that he didn’t have to pour his curse on me for having broken the chain of trust in no time.
I chose to travel to Lisbon, one of the most sought after destinations in the world for a perfect weekend break. It was for the first time I decided to make my way to the Portuguese capital. Lisbon has everything to support the fact why it’s called a city of dreams. I was running short of time, so I decided to compare flight tickets to Lisbon so I could book the one that seemed easy on my pocket.
What would you not find in this beautiful Portuguese city?
Historical districts, interesting museums, sun-kissed beaches, exciting streets, great restaurants, and magnificent monuments are some of the reasons why you should head to Lisbon this season.
I fell in love with the city the instant I set my foot on the Portuguese soil for the first time. The locals are really friendly and guide you if you happen to lose your way back to the hotel.
Following are some of the things to do and see in Lisbon:
Built way back in 1388, Batalha is one of the greatest masterpieces of Europe you cannot afford to ignore. Mesmerize yourself when you see the interiors of church with stunning 16th-century glass stained windows.
Known as Europe’s largest building of the Cistercian order, the Abbey of Santa Maria is a must-visit. Take a leisure walk around the abbey when you feel right and get to know more about different parts of the building.
The stunning city of Braga will leave you fascinated deep inside. Find several Baroque monuments, and while on your tour, don’t forget to explore Portugal’s best sight, the Bom Jesus Sanctuary. And the cathedral in the city is a must visit and is the oldest one in Portugal.
4.Take a Journey to Evora
A journey to Evora, one of the country’s World Heritage Sites, will definitely be worth your time. It’s a small town filled with many beautiful and historic buildings that will catch your attention at the very first sight.
You cannot leave this fascinating European country without tasting the flavour of its musical culture. Fado is an emotional music and this tradition is 200 years old. Most songs do follow a theme that sounds haunting and filled with loss.
