LISBON

Adios España, Bom dia Portugal!

With only 1 day in Lisbon (cos of the bus incident), we woke up at 5.30am, determined to utilize every single minute to soak up the sights of beautiful Lisbon.

Lisbon town center: Praça do Comercio
Belém (That egg tart place!)



You've got to remember this place! Pasteis de Belém, the most famous eggtart cafe in Portugal supposedly.










Monument of the DiscoveriesMosteiro dos Jeronimos: A World Heritage site

Torre do Belém: Another World Heritage site

Sintra

Highly recommended by my Lonely Planet Europe on a Shoestring guide, this was the place where the author proposed to his wife. Ahh, so romantic.
Sintra National Palace
Pena Palace
The not-so-romantic part: hiking up the hill for 30min to see the Pena Palace. The view from the top was stunning though.
This city is really sooooo enjoyable, if we have the chance, we would have spend 3 days here instead.
