Lisbon - Parque das Nacoes

by salinhopt

Once an unsafe neighborhood of warehouses and dingy domiciles along the very broad Tagus River, the conduit for international shipping to the Atlantic Ocean, it was upgraded spectacularly by the Expo '98 concept. Spruced and rehabbed, it is distinguished by exciting, innovative architecture.

Lisbon - Sao carlos
theater

by salinhopt

The National Theater of S. Carlos in Lisbon belongs to the small number of European lyric theaters with an almost uninterrupted activity throughout two hundred years, not having suffered no accident of countenance since its inauguration in 30 June of 1793, even so he has been object of diverse remodellings and restaurings that had been renewing the interior aspect of the room and foyers, without modifying however the outsie trace. Currently the S. Carlos has capacity for 860 spectators. The history of the opera in Portugal in last the two centuries confuses in wide measured with the history of the S. Carlos, over all after the fire that destroyed the Theater of S. João of the Port in 1908.

detail of casa dos bicos

by call_me_rhia

The strangest-looking house in Lisbon must be - at least from its exterior, casa dos bicos. it has been diescribed in many ways - the most suggestive being that its spiky facade is shaped in the fashion of many diamonds. my impression, however , was different: a house made in hell. Yet, I did not fail to be fascinated. I really wished my guidebook had told more about its architect and his ideas. Intriguing!

	Grand structures and architecture: Eden Theatre Tip Rating:

Yes, this impressive building was once a theatre. Built in 1929 right on the Praca dos Restauradoures, this art-deco building was converted into an aparthotel (there are tips on VT from several people who have stayed here). The outside is still impressive though, and there is still plenty of detail to feast your eyes on. In one of my pictures (taken from the top of the Elevadour do Santa Justa) you can see the roof-top swimming pool.

When we were in Lisbon, there was a parade on the Saturday, and the views of the hotel were partly obscured by a large soundstage right outside the hotel.

arco triunfal

by call_me_rhia

At the end of Rua Augusta you can find the Arco Triunfal (the arch of triumph), which was intended to be a decorative element to praca de comercio (commerce square), where government buildings were (and some still are) located while Lisbon was being reconstructed after the 1755 earthquake. It was built in the 19th century, I think. It's also known by the name of arco de augusta
