City By The River

The city of Lisbon reminds us so much of San Francisco! Known as the city of "seven hills" it has a landscape of curvy streets and several high points with spectacular views of the Tagus (Tejo) River. It is a port city with an old cable car system running in the downtown area (BAIXA) and a bridge named the "The 25 de Abril Bridge" that looks very similar to the Golden Gate Bridge. Quaint cobble stone streets and a Pastelaria on every corner are some of the many characteristics that gives Lisbon, Portugal a name of its own.
