Things to do in Lisbon

Lisbon the capital city of Portugal. The city is beautiful and the cultural experience that I had there exceeded my expectation. I stayed there for 3 days so, I wanted to make the most out of the trip. In today's blog I will talk about my favorite spots in Lisbon.

I loved Belem tower in Lisbon. The Belem tower is situated at the heart of the town. the tower was built in 1514 and in 1983 it was classified as the world heritage site by UNESCO. The architecture and the view surrounding this heritage was very fascinating.


The tower has five floors and the view from the roof is worth the hard ride. Climbing the narrow spiral staircase is a task itself. I was lucky that I traveled in January hence, it was not busy otherwise, you have to wait for hours to climb the top. 

 It is mandatory to get the tickets to get inside. They have a student discount in place with the student discount I paid only 3 euros which was very affordable. Every floor and the architecture has its own story.

The tower has Governor's hall, the kings hall, the audience hall. the chapel and the top floor is roof terrace. You can see the whole downtown of Lisbon from the roof Terrace.

I recommend this heritage if you are someone who loves cultures and wants to know the ancient heritage of a country. The architecture was breath taking. Well, many people says that they were disappointed and this heritage did not meet their expectations. However, I loved it and do recommend my readers. 

More from Portugal is coming on my next blog.

Accidental Trip to Turkey

I landed in Turkey by accident. I know it all sounds funny and ridiculous. Well let me tell you the story and how it happened. So, the story is... Finally after 1 year I booked my flights to Doha. As I bought the last minute ticket hence, I booked my flight with Pegasus airlines it is a Turkey flag bearing airline. It is a budget airline and lat minute tickets were very expensive hence, they were the only cheap option I had. I had 1 and half hour transit time. So, I had my flight on 13th of December. the first flight was from Amsterdam and the second one was from Istanbul. I reached Istanbul on time. I passed the check point and I was hungry as I did not had anything on the flight. I bought a chicken salad from Subway and I walked to the gate. I only had half an hour to board the flight so I ran and stood in the line. I was almost the last one in the line.
