Lisbon - 6 Hours in Lisbon, The Oldest Bookstore, Praça do Comércio

Meal before landing in Lisbon

Apparently Lisbon Airport was pretty busy when we landed. Shuttle connecting to the immigration gate.

Ta-Da! Another stamp on my passport!

Lisbon Airport

Only about 30 minutes away from the city center. Convenient location and great access for a short city explore around the city for just 6 hours of transfer.

Viva Travel Card (just 6 Euro for a day pass for unlimited travel within Lisbon – Ferry, Subway and Buses)

I got this card from the subway station. Well, according to Tripadvisor from years ago and Google maps, it is faster and more convenient to take the bus to the city center instead of the taking the subway.

The bus runs through the city for a local experience. It turns out it should be faster to take the subway to get to the city because of traffic.

Marquês de Pombal

Walking along Av. Da Liberdade to Rossio. There were just high ended fashion stores along the street.

It was quite a long walk to Rossio. I took the subway instead of just walking for the one station haha

Rossio

Bertrand Bookshop

Bertrand Bookshop, Lisbon, established in 1732, is the oldest operating bookshop in the world. I have my laptop in my backpack and the security detector won’t stop beapping haha

Haha even Portugual has Sephora, but not Germany

Praça do Comércio

Cais das Colunas

Ponte 25 de Abril

Suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon to the municipality of Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tejo river. Because it is a suspension bridge and has similar coloring, it is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, US. It was built by the American Bridge Company which constructed the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, but not the Golden Gate.

Alfama district

Igreja de São Domingos

ANA Lounge

It’s just a name of the Lounge. It has nothing to do with ANA. It was quite comfortable with a huge collection of beverages, though the selection of snacks was limited.
