#presstrip Despite having been to Portugal multiple times, I haven't been to Lisbon since I was 30. An unfortunate encounter with Tequila Slammers for the first time meant I really have no recollection of the city at all. So I was really pleased to have half a day to wander around and explore. This is the Praça do Comércio the large square which leads down to the Tagus river. The square is still commonly known as Terreiro do Paço, because it was the location of the Paços da Ribeira (the main palace of the Kings of Portugal) until it was destroyed by the great 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Despite the lack of palace, it's still a stunning space and a great place to get a feel for Lisbon life. And the sun was shining!
