                    Ora?ul Lisabona nu merita un sejur de mai mult de 3 zile. Nu te a?tepta sa gase?ti in Lisabona ce gase?ti la celelalte capitale ale Europei (ca obiective turistice) Roma, Paris, Londra, pentru ca vei avea o mare dezamagire. Este un ora? pitoresc in care recomand sa te plimbi ?i sa-l descoperi la pas.
