6 things to do in Lisbon
With its coastal location and warm, sunny climate, Lisbon is a city rich of activities. Let's discover 6 things to do in Lisbon!1- Go behind the scenes at some historic monasteries and convents
The Jerónimos (or Hieronymite) Monastery, along with the Torre de Belem, is now a UNESCO World Heritage site and it is also a National Monument - mainly due to its ambitious architecture. It's incredible that the Igreja e Convento do Carmo (Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel) is still standing, as it survived a devastating earthquake in 1755.
2- See 1000 year old castle remains
The Castelo de S Jorge was rediscovered in the early 20th century during an excavation, which dug up the remains of a castle and royal palace. It's now a national monument and a gateway to nearly a 1000 years of Lisbon history.
3- Wander around the pretty niche museums
The Pharmacy Museum delves deep into 5,000 years in the history of medicine. And granted the Museu Nacional do Azulejo - a museum essentially dedicated to tiles - might not sound the most exciting. But it's actually got some of the most beautiful examples of the famous Azulejo ceramic works in the city.
4- Take a tram
The Remodelado trams were built in the 1930s, and we recommend the very pretty Tram 28 route. You can jump off and explore one of the passing neighbourhoods, or use it as a way to get up the steep hills.5- Visit a monument to sea exploration
6- When a botanical garden meets a Bond baddies lair
Estufa Fria botanical gardens has some unusual hot and cold plant houses to explore - and it's free on a Sunday. Once you're done with the plants, play count the sculptures (there's loads) and then head to the bar.These are only some of the lots of acitivites you can find in Lisbon.
