Day 243: Lisbon: A Castle with a View

October 16, 2016

Today I managed to cross of most of the things I wanted to see in Lisbon, but it really took all day.

I started off at Sao Jorge Castle, which along with being about a thousand years old (a lot of it is fully restored, but there are some sections which are just ruins) is also one of the best lookouts across the city.

The walk up the hill was worth it for the view over the bay and ocean.

After the Castle, I went and checked out some churches. Most of them were closed as it was a Sunday, so I may have to go back to a couple that looked particularly interesting, but to be honest, I am a little bit Churched out!

I also got to try a proper Portuguese egg tart, and oh my god they are amazing. Goes perfectly with a coffee. I need to get the recipe!
