A Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour of Lisbon

Recently, my sister and our friends travelled to Lisbon, Portugal and they had so many positive things to say about it that we decided to come and visit too! We went in the last week of February and the weather was mild compared to the winter in Canada.

We loved the hotel where we were staying as we could walk to a lot of the attractions downtown. There were lots to see, therefore, hoping to learn more about the history, cultures and some interesting facts about Lisbon, we decided to take the Hop on Hop off city bus tour of Lisbon.

The Hop-On Hop-Off bus was good as it took us through a few of the neighbourhoods in Lisbon where we passed by many manificent churches and ancient buildings. There were bridges, beautiful gardens and many famous sites.

Unfortunately, the narratives were few and brief coming from the sound system of the tour bus. Most of the time, it only played music instead of explaining to us the various significant history or stories of the area or buildings our bus was passing by.

We did see a fair amount of the city of Lisbon, but we were disappointed that we didn't learn much about it even after the bus tour. However, we did enjoy a nice local dinner at one of the mom and pop restaurants downtown. We like Portugal food and the many cafes and eateries throughout the city.

Looking forward to trying out more Portugal food and learning more about this beautiful country in our week long vacation here! RT, Lisbon, Portugal 02272024
