Lisbon is a metropolis and its inhabitants have a fast, stressed way of life, similiar to that of London or Berlin. Even so, they will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable in their magical city.


Lisboetas love partying, nightlife and cultural events and they are generally very easy-going people. There never was a form you could use to describe a single population and Lisbon is certainly not different. On the streets you will see the varinas (fish sellers) shouting the price of the fishes they have to sell in a strong voice, artists showing their paintings, playing songs and performing living statues, business men rushing to their jobs, hot chestnuts sellers...

What a mixture, you must be thinking. Well, this mixture is the charm of Lisbon, a vibrant city with vibrant people and a vibrant way of living...
