Wandering Through the Streets of Lisbon: A City of Light, Tiles, and Soul

There’s something special about Lisbon—the way the golden light spills over the terracotta rooftops, how the echo of Fado music fills the narrow alleys, and how every corner seems to hold a story. I arrived just as the sun began its slow descent over the Tagus River. The city welcomed me with a warm breeze and the smell of grilled sardines drifting from a tiny tasca in Alfama. Lisbon feels like a living mosaic: blue-and-white azulejos cover buildings like patchwork quilts, while steep trams rattle up cobblestone hills with the same energy they’ve had for a hundred years. The highlights? Definitely watching the sunset from Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, taking Tram 28 through the city's historic quarters, and sipping ginjinha from a tiny hole-in-the-wall bar. And don’t get me started on the pastéis de nata—they’re reason enough to plan a return trip. Lisbon is a city that doesn't rush. It invites you to slow down, look up, and simply wander. ????
