Natural Disasters in Lisbon: What do you need to know?
one local expertLeave a comment
Lisbon is the second oldest preserved city in Europe after Athens (other older cities were rebuilt after war or earthquakes). It is a vibrant and multicultural city, with around 300 days of sun per year. A city not far from the sea, and with natural beauty, as found in park Monsanto, the Tagus River and, also, 30 minutes from the coastline. Popular among surfers as a “commuting point” to either surf spots north or south from the city. Also, very popular is Sintra, and specifically the National Park da Sintra. There we find Palacio da Pena, a colourful palace, with exquisite architecture. we find Quinta da Regaleira and the well Iniciatico, full of mysterious details, and all comprised in the beauty of the landscape.
