DrFumblefinger visits Mirador de Sao Paulo de Alcantara, one of Lisbon’s most popular viewpoints.
The Gloria Funicular is a popular tourist attraction in Lisbon, taking tourists up one of the steepest hills in town.
Buildings covered in tile are common in Portugal—a trait acquired during Moorish times. These tiles, called Azulejos, have become an important feature of Portuguese architecture.
DrFumblefinger visits Lisbon’s popular Rossio square, which has long been a gathering spot in the community. The National Theater Dona Maria II sits across from the square.
DrFumblefinger enjoyed the convenient transportation services provided by the Oriente station. It’ a fairly modern structure, built for Expo 98, with excellent train, bus and metro connections.
DrFumblefinger enjoyed seeing these piebald peacocks—peacocks with unusual white coloration in their features—during a recent trip to Lisbon.
DrFumblefinger comes across this interesting work of art while exploring the site of World Expo ’98 in Lisbon.
Best calamari I’ve ever had!
Interesting combination that worked out quite well.
