About Lisbon: It’s Got Record-Breaking Bookstores Lisbon is home to the oldest bookstore in the world still in operation: Bertrand Books, which opened in 1732. You’ll also find one of the world’s smallest bookstores in Lisbon. There’s only enough space for one person and an impressive 3,000 books, meaning you’ll have to ask the eponymous owner, Simone to leave the store as you peruse.

About Lisbon: Lisbon’s Trams Aren’t Authentically Theirs Lisbon’s iconic yellow trams are part of any picture-postcard image of the city. The idea, however, came from the USA, which explains why locals affectionately call them Americanos.

About Lisbon: The Government Loves Graffiti Unlike other cities, Lisbon’s city hall has a taste for street art and runs its own public art programme called Gallery of Urban Art. There’s no boutique gallery space however; instead, they hire artists to make murals over old, decaying buildings. Look out for pieces by Vhils, Portugal’s answer to Banksy.

About Lisbon: The Portuguese Are The True Creators Of Tea Time The quintessential English tradition of tea time was actually invented by Portuguese princess, Catherine de Braganza. She brought the tradition to Great Britain when she married Charles II and relocated to the UK, bringing loose leaf tea with her.

About Lisbon: Lisbon Guards Some Seriously Secret Recipes The pastels de nata at Lisbon’s Pasteis de Belem are so revered that the centuries-old secret recipe has never been written down. A mere three bakers have been entrusted with the recipe for these flaky custard tarts, and they’re strictly forbidden from travelling in the same car or plane together. Superstitious, but sensible.

About Lisbon: The City Of Seven Hills Actually Has More Lisbon has long been hailed the ‘City of Seven Hills’, but in actual fact there are more than just seven. It’s rumoured that the number seven was arbitrarily decided on to make it seem more like the Holy City of Rome.

I must admit the beauty of a church choir, especially in epic moments in movies and other works of art they use a church choir or something similar

Previously, in large Western cities, life depended on the success of battles, now nothing has changed, but many battles have moved into Economic battles, now cities are trying to develop comprehensively, improve infrastructure, fill the ecosystem and create Progressive/New benefits
