Discover the best Lisbon photography spots and useful tips to get the best memories from Portugal!
I have been more than once in Lisbon, and I plan on visiting it again. This is something rare on me, someone that loves discovering new places, cultures, countries… but Lisbon is special. Compared to its sister Porto, Lisbon is chaotic, noisier, and more cosmopolitan.
