After an uneventful flight with Easyjet we landed in Lisbon around 12:30, and by the time we got out of the airport and travelled on the metro we arrived in central Lisbon around 2pm.
We are renting an apartment for our stay right in the centre of Lisbon, although it is down a side road so it is pretty quiet, but close to all the sights and restaurants.

After unpacking we went to explore the area - Lisbon is really hilly so one minute it is flat, then you turn the corner and you have to walk up a steep road!
We walked down to Praca do Comercio Square, which was close to the River Tagus, and stopped at an outdoor cafe for a drink - it is very hot here at the moment so combine the heat with hills and it's thirsty work!

In the evening we went in to the Barrio Alto area, which is the party district of Lisbon! We wandered around the streets taking in the atmosphere of the area - it is a very old area with lovely buildings and small streets, and it was already buzzing with people at 8pm. We stopped at a little tapas bar which was down an alley, with the tables very close together on the steps of the alleyway, so we were very close to our neighbours but it added to the atmosphere! On the way back to our apartment we stopped off at an outdoor cafe to watch the street performers - we were hoping to get a coffee but we never did see the waiter!
