- My first time in Lisboa!
I started my exploration of Lisbon with a nice stroll through the Eduardo VII Park that sits to the north of Avenida da Liberdade and Marquis of Pombal Square.
My second day, I walked through the Bairro Alto neighbourhood up to the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara for panoramic view of the city.

That tile image at 7:59 depicts the "Ala dos Namorados" (Boyfriends's Wing), the right wing of the portuguese army that fought the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385 against the Castillian army, and received that name because they were all very young men.
Carlos Lopes is a former portuguese athlete that won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympics, when he won the marathon. That was the first gold medal won by a portuguese athlete in the Olympics.
14:48 it's Castelo de São Jorge (Saint George's Castle). That place had fortifications since the 2nd century BC, and that exact castle, with several modifications and improvements, is some 900/1000 years old.
The metro ticket machines have a choice of four languages, Portuguese, Spanish, English and French...
I'm almost sure those ticket machines in the Metro also have a english version available.
The green machine to refill the cards does have English but the one to purchase the card did not. I still found it fairly easy to use (but knowing French & Spanish helps).
Thank you for watching 🙂
