However, we can neither confirm or deny that concept, as we went to <strong>Lisbon<\/strong> to top up on everything we can&#8217;t get here, like\u00a0beaches, fresh seafood and ancient European history. We couldn&#8217;t tell you what the clubs are like, or the bars for that matter, and we didn&#8217;t bother to find out what the absolute best restaurants are; instead, we treated the city like one big highlight.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\u00fcberlin does Lisbon\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2879\/9409186739_39a39d18df_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We hiked up the city&#8217;s narrow, winding streets, marvelling at the buildings&#8217; intricate tilework and walls painted colours we&#8217;ve never seen anywhere else, before taking a boat cruise along the Tagus river. If forced to dish out practical tips, we&#8217;d recommend getting lost in the labyrinthian\u00a0Alfama, Lisbon&#8217;s oldest district, hiking to the top of the highest hill you can find to enjoy the views across the city and its beautiful bay, and hiring a car to get to some areas of real natural beauty. More on that later &#8211; for now, here are our impressions of Lisbon.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon tram streetcar\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3814\/9409179019_39c0b010c2_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon tiles\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5447\/9409180263_9455a8a52b_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon architecture\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7281\/9409183165_e71df12abf_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon bright colours\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7341\/9411948362_b9fa4444d8_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon scaffolding\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3754\/9411949048_8ba19be06f_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon flowers\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2877\/9409188625_72f5e6770b_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon nuns river front\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7424\/9411956632_a42e6e05aa_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon 25 de Abril Bridge\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5469\/9409193299_8ce2c0fc2b_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon yellow\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7342\/9411958078_9146468581_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon lion tiles\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7442\/9409192315_659daafce3_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon dusk twilight\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5450\/9411961114_5d04570348_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon Afalma dusk twilight\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3777\/9409195265_131e5cb973_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon Afalma night\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7339\/9411963350_ca4e39a27c_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"Lisbon tram streetcar night\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5342\/9409197699_dc9b7ca42d_o.jpg\" width=\"650\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photos by <a title=\"Zo\u00eb Noble Photography\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ZoeNoblePhotography\" onclick=\"javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http:\/\/www.facebook.com']);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zo\u00eb Noble Photography<\/a><\/p>\n<p>   <span class=\"like\" style=\"height: 40px;
