From the airport I took the metro to Restauradores station. I deposited my luggage at the hotel and started my discoveries of "Lisboa".
Elevador da Glória - one of the three cable cars
Rossio with palm trees
Rossio: the railway-station and Rossio: the square
The "summit" of the Elevador de Santa Justa
Elevador de Santa Justa and the first Vespa I spotted in Lisbon
Another classic Vespa in Rua Augusta
From the centre I took tram no. 28 to Miradouro Santa Luzia
Great view from Miradouro de Santa Luzia
Sao Vicente nearby and a fellow photographer
A classic 'azulejo' at Miradouro de Santa Luzia
I took tram no. 28 back to the centre and got on no. 15 to Belém.

The Monument to the Discoveries and the Tower of Belém
Padrão dos Descobrimentos and looking down from the top of it

foi romana, visigoda e árabe. Capital de Portugal desde o século XIII, conhece
maravilhosa prosperidade na época dos Descobrimentos.
Lisbon, founded by Phoenicians around 1200 BC, was
Roman, Visigoth and Arab. The capital of Portugal since the thirteenth century,
Lisbon enjoyed marvelous prosperity in the Age of the Discoveries.
