¶places & activities travelportugallisbon

• DONE Berardo Collection Museum – good modern art travelportugallisbon
  
• DONE Alfama is higher up and more medieval looking because a tsunami destroyed the lower elevation parts of the city. [wikitravel] travelportugallisbon
  
• DONE Sintra travelportugallisbon
  

  You can get there by cheap (1.5 Eur) suburban train.
  

  Sintra is famous for two local foodstuffs, queijadas and travesseiros. Queijadas are small sweet cakes, that are made using fresh cheese instead of butter. They are actually quite easy to make at home, but when you're there you might as well try some. Travesseiros are rectangular pastries made from fluff pastry and almond paste, and worth a try as well. [wikitravel]
  

  • Cabo de Rocha - very nice lighthouse, cliffs, and decent hike to the beach. travelportugallisbon
    

    Take a bus from Sintra, but beware the way is serpentinish, in case you are prone to motion sickness. It costs something like 4 EUR, paid by cash to the driver. Also mind the schedule.
    

• de abril bridge travelportugallisbon
  

  Very cool, looks kinda like Golden Gate. Unfortunately not pedestrian.
  

• take a ferry to the other side, walk to Christ the King statue. Nice city view travelportugallisbon
  
• DONE train to cascais (coastal resort) travelportugallisbon
  
• For Lisbon views, we preferred the Rua Augusta arch over the more popular Santa Justa elevator. The arch is also covered by the Lisboa card (€2.50 otherwise) and is IMO the cheaper and better alternative for some superb views of the city. [wikitravel] travelportugallisbon
  
• TODO electricity museum travelportugallisbon
  
• Art in metro on some stations travelportugallisbon
  

  Mostly red line. It goes to the airport, so it's hard to miss. Oriente is particularly cool
  

• TODO Jardim Botanico travelportugallisbon
  

  allegedly good, but was closed at the time :(
  

¶[2019-04-05] Geres National Park travelportugalporto

Go on a day trip to the Gerês National Park. The wildlife and nature in this park are really worth a visit, and the scenery is magnificent.

¶[2019-04-05] Vunho Verde travelportugalporto

Taste the "Vinho Verde", freely translated as "Green Wine" - this is mostly a low alcoholic grade, young and fresh kind of wine, that you won't find anywhere else.

техно-бары, если кому интересно: Minimal bar, Süß war gestern. оба во фридрихсхайне, в обоих диджеи каждый день, и иногда очень приличные, нет фейсконтроля в отличие от клубов, а потанцевать можно не хуже (в süß вход платный после 11). еще хвалят burg schnabel и crack bellmer

Вообще есть автобус номер 100, он проезжает по всем основным точкам центрального Берлина и считается туристическим, только стоит нормальные 2,80 вместо 10), ходит к слову тоже каждые десять минут.
