Lisbon a city by the sea

Lisbon’s the capital city of Portugal. It ‘s on the River Tejorand it’s next to the sea. Lisbon’s a pretty
small capital city- about 550,000 people live there.

Lisbon has some very old areas. Alfama and Graca are beautiful old districts with narrow streets,
small squeres, and interesting shops. Above them is the castle of sao Jorge. There are wonderful
views of the city from the castle. You can walk to Alfama and Graca, or you can take streetcar. It ‘s
a great way to see this part of the city.

If you want to go on a day trip, take the streetcar to Belem. It ‘s the last district before the beach.
There are some interesting museums, a cultural center, and some really beautiful parks. You can
try Belem’s famous pastel de nata, too. These are delicious custard pastries- perfect with coffee.

There are lots of places to eat and go out in Lisbon. Bairro Alto’s a good place, and there are lots pf
restaurants and stores. It’s pretty noisy at night sometimes. If you want a traditional Portuguese
restaurants, go to Alfama or Graca.

You can visit Lisbon during any season. It ‘s not very cold in the winter. Spring and fall are lovely
times to visit because it’s usually warm and sunny. Sumer in Lisbon’s very hot, but you can go
swimming in the sea to cool dow!
