view of the city from Castelo Sao Jorge

Archaelogic record shows signs that humans have occupied the site of Catelo Sao Jorge (at the highest point of the highest hill in Lisbon) since the 6th Century BC - Indigenous Celtic tribes, greeks, phoenicians, carthaginians and later romans, moors, etc. The castle & city of Lisbon was won over by the Christians in the mid 12th Centruy during the Seige of Lisbon.

A popular spot!

@ Castelo Sao Jorge with my new Living Lounge friends (an international crowd - US, germany, finland & switzerland)

a view of the City, with 25 de Abril bridge in the background - often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge due to it's similar hue and suspension construction. It's the 21st longest suspension bridge in the world.

The nicest hostel I've ever stayed in: The Living Lounge hostel, Baixa-Chiado neighborhood in central lisbon

Each room was designed by a local artist - above, my room w/ Swiss roommates Selene & Livia

Each night, the hostel's chef served up a 3 course feast for the low low price of 8 euro. It was a good way to meet fellow travelers, and some locals too!
