Lisbon toronto flyers and another thing
For several years I am going to look at Portugal and even bought a detailed guidebook, but it appeared more interesting destinations. Finally, this spring I decided to extend the summer and to organize vacation in late September. Portugal is not great and my idea was to stay in Lisbon and travel each day to interesting toronto flyers places within a radius of about 150 km.
After a long and hot Sofia Summer came September 16 and the entire group met at Lisbon airport. Found Aerobusa who goes to the center and it was the most convenient transportation. The agency, which hired the apartment we were greeted and seated with a compliment - a bottle of Portuguese Rose and breakfast on our first morning in Lisbon. The first thing I noticed were the many immigrants from Africa to the cooperative. Were gathering a thing as a market and meeting place. Then I read that attend the services of the neighboring church of Santo Domingo.
Evening we went out to eat and fortunately street with fish restaurants Rua das Portas de Santo Antão was a few meters from the apartment. The place is a 'tourist trap' - restaurants toronto flyers are side by side, standing in front of them "shouter" and offers a menu, the prices are a little higher than normal, but I had read good reviews for a place that offers chicken with spicy sauce Piri-Piri. The restaurant faced with the custom toronto flyers still in sitting to serve bread, butter, cheese croquettes of cod and other appetizers. If you do not cancel them added to the bill, which is about 10 euros on top. As for the first night we tried them, but in the coming days order only bread was always fresh and delicious.
Our program was the first three days to look at Lisbon, then three days to travel around the surrounding area and for this purpose I found an agency that offers tours for small groups. The last two days the program toronto flyers was free - walking and shopping.
The next morning we headed to the square to Marques Pombal Square, from where coaches. We walked on Avenida Liberdade - the street with the most expensive shops, designed to resemble the Champs Elysees. Along the lane there are gardens with benches and greenery and a pleasant place to walk.
The square was total chaos and traffic was completely blocked, and later realized that it was the first day of the experiment with the new traffic rules. We got the blue line on the bus and we headed to the Park of Nations and Oceanarium. First we passed the zoo, but we decided not to enter. The bus looked at the newer part of Lisbon and set stops for the next day - Oceanarium mall Vasco da Gama.
With the red line went to Belem neighborhood from which journeyed seafarers seeking new ways. The majority of the route runs along the Tagus River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. toronto flyers We passed the bridge on April 25, which is a copy of Golden toronto flyers Gate in San Francisco and was built by the same company. On the other side of the river over the bridge stands Cristo Rey - a large statue of Jesus Christ, built as a gratitude that Portugal has remained neutral and did not give victims during World War II.
Buses get a general idea of Lisbon - flat central part Baixa, a hilly Bairro Alto, Chiado and Alfama, toronto flyers the new suburbs, many parks. Evening stroll on one of the pedestrian streets of Baixa - Rua Augusta, which linked Rossio Square and Square Trade (Dust to Komershio). It parallel and adjacent streets (mostly walking) there are many shops and nice restaurants.
You can climb to Bairro Alto elevator Santa Justin, designed by a student of Gustave Eiffel. If you climb the narrow winding stairs over the elevator cabin will encounter a terrace with magnificent views of the entire Lisbon. Elevator has two cabins and if you do not ticket you can buy from employees who manage them.
The next day again we got on coaches and we headed to Belem look monastery Hieronymus. We arrived fairly early, but the entrance wound pretty big queue. The building of the monastery toronto flyers is very beautiful - outside and inside. toronto flyers The architectural style is typical of Portugal and is called Manuelito. We looked at several open rooms and courtyard, and exit the church, and was convinced that it was worth the wait in line for a ticket.
The monastery is the most famous bakery for pashtel December tion - famous dessert - baked basket of puff pastry filled with custard, but they had occupied dozens of tourists and refused. On almost all of the main streets of Lisbon toronto flyers has a bakery - pastelariya and supply toronto flyers of sweets is huge.
Park of Nations was built for Expo in 1998 and there are quite modern and interesting buildings - the Portuguese pavilion, Tower Vasco da Gama (whose contours resemble the Burj Al Arab in Dubai), Oriente Station mall Vasco da Gama.
Our aim was Oceanarium, which is the second largest in the world (the largest was in Osaka). In the central part there
