Portugal, one of the oldest nations in Europe and name of Portugal derives from the Roman name Portus Cale which means fond bay~~Let start the historical travel in Portugal today!!!

Standing at the entrance to Lisbon Harbour, the Monastery of the Hieronymites – construction of which began in 1502 – exemplifies Portuguese art at its best.

Sr. Fado-a traditional restaurant offering Portuguese cuisine. you can get a main-dish by using 15 euro only and 30 euro for 3 main-dish meal^^

Furthermore there have Fado show are available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. 




Castle of Saint George

Saint George's Castle can be seen from almost everywhere in the city. Its oldest parts date from the 6th century.











It was fortified by the Romans, Visigoths, and eventually the Moors. It served as a Moorish royal residence until Portugal's first king Afonso Henriques captured it in 1147 with the help of northern European crusaders on their way to the Holy Land.






It was then dedicated to St. George, the patron saint of England, commemorating the Anglo-Portuguese pact dating from 1371, and became the royal palace until another one (that was destroyed in the Great Earthquake) was built in today's Comercio Square.

National Palace of Pena




Palácio Nacional da Pena is quite a sight to behold, turrets and balconies were painted in every color of the rainbow.









Paths wind through the greenery to scenic viewpoints like the High Cross and the Queen’s Throne, which gives a lovely view of the palace.




You can get there by train ride from Rossio Station in Central Lisbon about 40 minutes and costed 1.95 euro for one-way-ticket. It is worth!!! because you will miss the princes inside the palace^^
