Portugal: Transformation from Empire to Quiet Life | Tiles, Fado and Russian Migrants

Portugal’s capital, an amazing city on the Atlantic coast and the centre of the great empire of the past. That’s Lisbon, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Is the city really worth the hype? I went there, explored the hidden corners of Lisbon, tried local coffee with pastel de nata, took a ride on the famous yellow tram, learnt about fado music and Portuguese architecture. Join me on this amazing trip to discover the true Lisbon!
