Lisbon: the essence of antique buildings and ancient streets 
at the mouth of the Tagus River.

In December 2008, two university classmates and I decided to take off for a weekend and visit the historic city of Lisbon. We didn't have time to visit many places in the city (which is now a reason to come back to Lisbon sooner or later), but we did enjoy ourselves anyway and we did visit some of the most famous landmarks like the Belém Tower and the Castle of Saint George as well as the old town. We also had time to eat (and fall in love with) the traditional 'pastel de Belém' - a typical dessert from Portugal.
