Photo of the Day ~ Blending The Old And The New In Lisbon Portugal

Here is seen an almost seamless melding of the old city and the newer modern Lisbon. The old city is more than 2700 years old and features cobblestone streets and bleached out buildings. Different from other European cities, it is a city that faces the ocean. There is a sense of mystery that surrounds this city, that is so steeped in history and culture. Everywhere you go are monuments, music, and art that play tribute to their heritage. Lisbon is also a modern city, a city that is often called "cool." No matter where you begin your Lisbon adventure, there is much to explore in Lisbon, Portugal.
