Lisbon, PortugalThis trip was the only time I've ever been to Europe, and it was probably the best thing I ever did. There's so much history, and it's such an accessible city without a car; in fact, we were mostly on foot. The winding, narrow streets were gorgeous, the churches were some of the most ornate things I've ever seen, and the museums were world class.
I think what I most loved, though, were the views. Lisbon is built on seven hills, so almost everywhere you go, there's a great view of the Lisbon skyline with its orange terracotta roofs. Sitting at restaurant patios and looking out over the city make up, without question, my best memories of the trip. And the food! I don't think there's better seafood anywhere else. So fresh.
Anyway, yeah. Now I want to go back. Damn.
