Discover the authentic Lisbon with me!
EN: Today i bring you, not 20, not 30 but 59 things to see and do in Lisbon! And i am not talking about the things that everyone does such as eating a pastel de Belém, listen Fado in Alfama or see the Jeronimos monastery. I am talking about getting to know the real Lisbon!
So in this list there are 59 things that i think that they are worth doing!

And that inside Santo António church you can see his crypt. What about the amazing portuguese pavement in Avenida da Liberdade? I just love it!
