Mrs Sciencebase and I recently had a lovely time in Lisbon, celebrating our wedding anniversary late. I’ve already blogged the incidental birding we did in a couple of spots. But, here are a few of the more touristy snaps I got of the city.

Also, colloquially known as Ponte sobre o Tejo, Bridge over the Tagus.Korea-Portugal Friendship by Vhils – Celebrates the arrival, in 1604, of the first Portuguese merchant, Joao Mendes, in Korea; west of the 25 April bridge on the north river bank.
