Description

Yes, now this city of navigators and brave conquerors appears modern, and in some areas, it resembles a set from the movie "Dune." However, its history is still evident in the patterns of the azulejo tiles and the undulating design of the sidewalks. Let me guide you along the Tagus River and share how Vasco da Gama discovered India and how the great Albuquerque conquered Goa without ever firing his musket. You'll see state-of-the-art buildings, churches, and the remains of a 16th-century fortress, and learn how the Queen of Portugal narrowly escaped an assassination attempt with a bouquet of flowers. I'll introduce you to the daring pilots who flew from Lisbon to Brazil in the 1930s. I will take you to a pastry shop where they bake cakes using a recipe from a monastery, which has been a well-kept secret for years. And I'll also reveal what the Portuguese did instead of fighting in World War II. Do you want to truly discover Lisbon and fall in love with it wholeheartedly? Then download this audio guide!
