MY REASONS TO LOVE LISBON:
1 | IT’S UNPRETENTIOUS
Lisbon is cool because it’s not interested in fitting in.
3| IT’S ONE BIG ART GALLERY
Lisbon is filled with imaginatively-adorned streets, from artistic (and not-so-artistic) graffiti, to dazzling tile panels on walls, to art nouveau store signs, to its characteristic cobblestone design pavements. Everywhere you turn is someone’s work of art.
4| THE WORLD’S BEST PASTRIES
7| IT’S BOHEMIAN YET TRENDY
Somehow Lisbon holds on to its unconventional styles while also being up-to-date on the latest global trends.
8| ARCHITECTURAL DIVERSITY

8| ARCHITECTURAL DIVERSITY
Here, no two buildings are alike.
10| IT’S TIMELESS
(...)the past and the present coexist in Lisbon.
11| IT’S HAUNTED BY GHOSTS OF POETS
Like other great historical cities, Lisbon has inspired artists and writers, and its soulful atmosphere feels haunted by writers such as Fernando Pessoa, Eça de Queiroz or Nobel Prize-winning José Saramago.
14| THE BEST CLIMATE (IN THE WORLD)
(...)300 days of sunshine throughout the year.
15| THE BEACHES
The only other major city blessed with sand and sea is Barcelona, but Lisbon’s coastline is bigger, more diverse and beautiful.
20| THE COFFEE IS BETTER AND THE TEA IS ONE-OF-A-KIND
Portugal knows a thing or two about coffee. (...) A tiny cup of strong, black coffee in Lisbon is called a “bica,” and if you’re a caffeine addict, you won’t find better coffee anywhere else. If you prefer tea, try the only tea produced in Europe, the Gorreana green tea from Portugal’s Azores.

25| IT’S SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
Lisbon’s luminosity and seductive alleys that force you to wander around discovering hidden secrets make it one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
My town e ao mesmo tempo my kind of town.
