Steep hills, marble sidewalks, and iconic trams - Our first day in Lisbon, Portugal!

in #photography7 years ago

As we traveled on from our stay in Copenhagen, Denmark we arrived to the humid, but beautiful, city of Lisbon, Portugal.

We ran into a bit of an issue as we arrived at the airport, it turned out that our Airbnb had been cancelled without our knowledge, and we had a mini crisis as we searched and searched for a place that night. It ended up working out ok as we found a decent place, and for only a little bit more than what we were originally going to pay, so no biggie.

We took the train to our place, took off our bags and sweat drenched clothes (it was a hot day), had a nice shower, and decided to head out to explore the city a little bit. Our friend Sabine had decided to come with us to Lisbon since she had never been so you may notice her from my previous posts about exploring Copenhagen.

Nice post

Thank you @monajam, it certainly does :) Glad you like the post!

@dexter-k, Lisbon is beautiful and always too shelf photography my friend.

Thanks @runridefly, it sure is and glad you like the photos :)

Dude! You're constantly traveling! Awesome. What am I doing wrong??? Lol

Well these photos are actually from a trip we did a while back, though we do travel quite frequently. (We are actually going back to Lisbon in a few days) Our work takes us all over the place, but we also love to just travel. Within Europe it is so easy, cheap, and quick to jump over to a completely different country/culture/landscape. Hope over to Europe some time, you would be amazed at how many different places you can see that are so close together!

WOW YOUR PICS ARE AMAZING keep exploring @dexter-k

Thanks so much @dihoa, glad you like them!

Beautiful pictures from Lisbon. Thanks for sharing Dexter!

I made his discovery at the beginning of the year, during 3 days. The beautiful Lisbon is both a beautiful and a wise city. But it was hard to know because once night fell, Lisbon proved to be a very busy city that is full of pubs and bars.

Yes it certainly is both beautiful and busy, thanks for your comment @machhour :)

your welcome , Have a great day @dexter-k:)

awesome. I was in Lisbon when I was a kid, dont remember much unfortunately...but your pics brought some memories back.

That's awesome @mrwanderlust, I'm glad you enjoyed them :) Sabrina and I are actually going to be back in Lisbon for a week on the 26th of this month and are really looking forward to it, it's such a beautiful city to wander and explore.

Wow so many houses so close together in the last picture. Interesting pictures

Yes that is very common for dense European cities like Lisbon, it makes for very interesting streets! Thanks for the comment @bitfairy :)

I bet they'll be enough winding streets

Nice

Thanks @randowhale, love ya big guy!

Great pictures! It sucks that your Airbnb was cancelled and you didn't know about it - that would make everyone a little bit nervous, but I'm glad you found a place! :)
I've been to Lisbon once before and it's stunning - I really want to go back, especially after seeing all these great pictures! And it's even more fun going to a nice place like this with a friend, who hasn't been there :) Enjoy your week!

oh this place is different you seem to have a great day !!
