Escape to the sun-kissed shores of Lisbon, where vibrant culture, historic treasures, and breathtaking landscapes await your discovery! 🇵🇹✨

🏰 Immerse yourself in history as you wander through the cobbled streets of Alfama, the oldest district, adorned with colorful houses and hidden gems around every corner.

🌅 Chase sunsets along the Tagus River, capturing the perfect Instagram moment against the backdrop of the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge.

🎭 Indulge your senses at the bustling Mercado da Ribeira, where the aroma of freshly grilled seafood and the sounds of live Fado music create an unforgettable atmosphere.

🏞️ Embark on a tram ride through the narrow streets, ascending the city's hills for panoramic views of the cityscape, or lose yourself in the enchanting beauty of Sintra, just a short drive away.

🍷 Savor the rich flavors of Portuguese cuisine, from delectable Pastel de Nata to mouthwatering Bacalhau, complemented by a glass of fine Vinho Verde.

🛍️ Unleash your inner shopaholic in the chic boutiques of Baixa or uncover unique treasures at the Feira da Ladra flea market.

🌺 With its warm hospitality, lively atmosphere, and a tapestry of experiences waiting to be woven, Lisbon beckons you to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Pack your bags and let Lisbon weave its magic on you! 🧳✨

WELL, who's ready to travel. Let's get a girls trip together. Where oh where should we go (in the states)? If you missed the last one you missed a great time - even with a looming hurricane. We still did it up in New Orleans. Anyone want a redo or should we pick someplace else?
