Lisbon, Portugal

A charming city by the sea with hills, beautiful tiled buildings, street cars and lots of street art.

Beautifully restored tiled buildings

A very tiny shop that sold exquisite leather gloves.
Someone told me it was the smallest shop in Lisbon.
Not sure if that is true or not.

Many of the streets in the old city are paved with this stone work, 
which can have no, to little, to...

... elaborate design.

  

Old street cars travel the city, as well as modern transportation.
In the narrow, winding, hilly streets however these are the only public
vehicles that make it.

Funiculars ( covered in graffiti) take people up the steep streets.

It is really hard to show the perspective of these slopes. They are steep!
