Destinations

Lisbon — often compared to San Francisco for its siting on various hills with a bridge reminiscent of our Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco — is a lively, humane and fascinating town full of history, monuments, lively smaller neighborhoods in process of change and modernization. The Santos district lying not far from the harbor area, has in the last few years become home to trendy small restaurants, small boutique shops and even a pharmacy from the 19th century with its own musician playing his own compositions at lunchtime. Pull up a chair in front of his white piano after purchasing your necessities and enjoy 15 minutes of marvelous sounds before moving on to other endeavors.
