Music and language

There are many opportunities to enjoy opera here in Lisbon.

The Italian language and the Portuguese language are related as they belong to the same family called "Romance."

My Portuguese is not good enough but someday ...

I try to study hard everyday.

The best time to visit the Belem Palace

이미지
National Palace of Belem , the official residence of the Portuguese President , is only open to the public on Saturdays.

These are subject to change due to the presidential schedule, so it's safer to call and book in advance just to make sure. The number is 21-361-49-80. You can't see the inside of the palace on other days. However, should you decide to visit on Sundays, the museum and part of gardens are open and offer free admission to all visitors.

Due to heavy mist, sometimes flights get delayed or canceled. Besides, when you go to the airport, you have to get there early and after getting off the plane, waiting for your luggage comes out can take some time. By using taxify app, it costs about five euros to get to the airport from my house. And to Rossio train station or  Santa Apolónia train station , the fare is usually between 3 to 5 euros. Oriente train station is kind of far but costs you less than 10 euros. Not bad, right? Rossio Train Station Traveling by train, it's smart to make a reservation way ahead. Sometimes the fare costs twice as much if you book too late. As far as I know bus fares don't change whether you book ahead or not. However, it's always good to plan ahead and ...

Just visit the site and the download. All the info is provided in six languages, including English and Portuguese. Some visitors from Korea don't feel comfortable figuring it out in English so sometimes I help them to understand and find out whatever piques their interests. It is kind of time consuming but I enjoy every minute of it. By translation info into Korean, I get to learn more about what this city offers visitors from all over the world. Through my Korean blog, a lady from Sintra got the info on OVO...
