Lizbona, Portugalska

Lizbona, prestolnica Portugalske, je bilo naše prvo večje mesto na poti po Iberskem polotoku. Ponavadi se večjim mestom izognemo, a včasih je treba narediti izjemo – Lisbona in kasneje Porto pa sta bila itak visoko na našem spisku popotniških želja. In to upravičemo. Lisbona ponuja praktično vse, kar si popotnik želi. Že sama destinacija je naravnost fantastična. Bližina morju da mestom po mojem mnenju vedno nek poseben pridih. V Lisboni najdeš na eni strani stara mestna jedra, polna zgodovine, potem je tu moderna arhitektura, ki kraljujea predvsem okrog svetovno znanega akvarija, ki je “must see” – z otrokom ali brez. Obisk Lisbone pa zagotovo ne sme miniti brez obiska lokalne kavarne in uživanju ob lokalnih, sladkih specialitetah – “pastel de nata” rules. 🙂

Lisbon, capital of Portugal, was our first major town on the way around the Iberian Peninsula. Usually we try to avoid bigger cities but sometimes it is necessary to make an exception – Lisboa and later Porto were anyway high on our list of traveler destinations.  And it was worth spending some time in the Lisbon. Lisbon offers virtually everything that travelers are usually looking for. In Lisbon you can find old parts of town, full of history and special charm, then there is modern architecture, world famous aquarium, which is a “must see” – with or without children. But to really feel the town, you have to visit one of the local cafes and taste some delicious sweets – “pastel de nata” rocks. 🙂
