637 – Lisbon 里斯本初步印象

1. Lisbon is, among other things, known for its unique historical center, stunning architecture, colorful ceramic tiles, and fantastic food. It’s a sunny and hilly city.
- Sunny: It’s the sunniest capital city in mainland Europe.
- Hilly: Liston is called the city of seven hills. These hills become an inescapable point of interest, thus encouraging one to rent a Tuc Tuc truck.

2. Population of Greater Lisbon: 3 million
Size: 3015 Km2 (Vancouver: 2883 km2)

3. Food: Portugal's main food is seafood dishes like Sardines, Cod, Tuna, Octopus, shellfish, and so on. Oftentimes, these fresh catches are served simply – grilled and presented with olive oil and lemon.

4. Is Lisbon a walkable city? Yes and no.
From our accommodation, I was able to walk all the way to the old town, Alfama. On the way, I passed by Church of Sao Roque, and a nice viewpoint. As I got closer to the old town, or you could call it the city center, the roads got steeper and steeper. Driving in Lisbon is both challenging and demanding, as it is one of Europe's most difficult cities to drive in.
