More of Beautiful Lisbon

I wanted to share a few more pictures from our trip to Lisbon in February of 2015.

Belem Tower. One of the only places we encountered long lines.

Padrao dos Descobrimentos, in Belem. An impressive monument to exploration.

 

Belem was probably the most ‘touristy’ place we visited. There were crowds at most locations and the panhandlers you expect to accompany crowds. I’m glad we went, and the local cafe we stopped at was nice. But I don’t know that I’d need to return.  Sintra, however, I could see spending a few days exploring. We only hit three of the major locations there, and I would love to return to both the Pena Palace and the Castelo dos Mouros (Castle of the Moors). Sintra itself seemed like a cool place. A mountain village of twisting roads and hidden treasures. I’d like to explore the town, too.

Check out my Facebook, Twitter, or Goodreads.  And take a look at my Patreon page, where I’m working on a novel and developing a tabletop RPG setting. You can also read my fiction over on Amazon.
