Lisbon. The famous yellow tram city, the umbrellas floating in the streets, yet with half the fuss of other European capitals, it’s Portugal’s star destination.Lisbon is also cultural center with majestic monasteries and huge museums, keeping all the past locked in giant walls…whispering the secrets of past centuries , waiting to be heard and listened.
