| Lisbon, Portugal |
Do you remember when the Portuguese ruled the World? We do and we’re ready to show you what is left of the Golden Era. Lisbon was the heart of international trade, we conquered North Africa, we discovered the Archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores, we were the first to round Cabo Bojador and the Cape of Good Hope, and then we landed in Brazil, Goa, Daman and Diu… Great, right?
The first highlights will be Chiado and Cais do Sodré. Chiado was once the centre of intellectual life today is one of the most fashionable neighbourhoods of the city where you may see some of the most fascinating historical sites, such as the Convent and Church of Carmo, emblematic theatres, charming old bookshops and major international brands.
Cais do Sodré for instance, was once a sordid quarter where brothels sidled up to sweaty clubs and suddenly became the most vibrant neighbourhood in town, home to live music, burlesque shows and great tapas bars and restaurants.
We go up the hill and we’ll reach Príncipe Real an area known for its antique style, glamour and beautiful Garden.
The Golden Area is approaching as soon as we arrive at Belém. Here everything is magnanimous, historical and sacred. It was from here that many of the great Portuguese explorers embarked on their dangerous and ambitious voyages. Here you may get off the eco tuk-tuk to visit the Belém Tower, the Jerónimos Monastery and the Monument to the Discoveries.
