The Walled City: Blue & Yellow Contrast in Obidos

Two-thirds of the primary colors take over the scene at Obidos. 

Blue and yellow color-blocked stripes adorn these whitewashed buildings, creating a look that is simple and historic, and also sleek and modern at the same time. 

Modern Twist in Lisbon: Glass Ceiling Interior Design

A 20 minute car ride away from the historic part of Lisbon is an updated, modern neighborhood with a futuristic twist, offering a stark contrast to the other popular spots. Centro Vasco da Gama mall has this glass ceiling interior design that captured my attention! The sleek silver and white colors add an extra chic city vibe.

Streets of Porto: Aligning Up to Clerigos Church

Porto has famous cobblestone steps, small streets and walkways, a mix of neutral and colorful (extremely narrow!) buildings, and we can't forget about those steep hills. On this particular pathway, I love the alignment of all the buildings and how perfect is is with the twists and turns of the street, leading up to the well-known Clerigos Church. 

Beyond the Window: Magnificent City of Lisbon

Castle of São Jorge Part III: The world awaits beyond the window. From mysterious darkness inside to a boundless state of energy, culture, and color right outside.

Extraordinary red rooftop buildings surround the city, with the mostly sunny sky creating that perfect contrast to the 360 view. 

Lisbon City and Ocean Views from Alfama

Red rooftop buildings surround Lisbon, offering extraordinary views all around the city. The narrow, hilly streets create outstanding scenery, with warm and vibrant colors everywhere you turn. 

Red Rooftop Views from Castle of São Jorge

Castle of São Jorge Part II: This castle offers the best 360 degree city views of Lisbon. I particularly enjoyed this perspective through a small window above the castle, peeking directly at the narrow streets filled with zigzagged houses decked with their traditionally bright red rooftops. 

Calming Sunset Skies Sweeping Over Porto, Portugal

One of my favorite views ever above a narrow steep hill after walking along the cobblestone streets of Porto. Above the Passeio das Virtudes garden, we witness this perfectly timed sunset with the Douro River and red roofs decorating the city. 

Old Meets New: The Unique Charm of Porto City

The remarkable architecture, narrow cobblestone streets, and colorful buildings make quite the splash in Porto. 

This view across the Douro River captures Porto's beauty at its best--showcasing the city's historic district all in one shot. 

Castle's View: The Red Rooftops of Lisbon

Castle of São Jorge Part I: One thing I've always been fascinated with Lisbon is how their 25 de Abril Bridge resembles San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge (and the Bay Bridge). 

It's so easy to get the two bridges mixed up if you were to look at it quickly at a distance...until you see this view with all the red rooftops and realize how different the two cities actually are. 

The Cliff and Landscape Scene in Peniche

Striking blue skies and water light up the Cabo Carvoeiro, a tremendous spot with wide landscape and cliff views from all 360 degrees in Peniche.
