Belem is a neighbourhood that is packed with monuments and a great day trip to take from Lisbon. I made a day out of it and this was my route. I took a bus to the area and started my adventure with a stop at MAAT, the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, which hasContinue reading “Day Trip Itinerary to Belem”

Party on Pink Street
Everyone knows about the red light district in Amsterdam, but I bet you didn’t know about Lisbon’s Pink Street. This short street, which is actually pink, is Lisbon’s centre of nightlife.

After a 7 hour, overnight flight I made it into Lisbon. I’m never good with sleeping on planes, so I was exhausted when I arrived, but also buzzing with excitement. It’s been 24 hours now and I’m still in a bit of awe that I’m actually here. From the airport I met some other RemotesContinue reading “Made it to Lisboa”
