CITY OF SEVEN HILLS

Lisbon is so hilly that when I walked 13 miles per day, I felt like I was getting 20 miles worth of workout.

This scene combines Portugal’s tradition of intricate tile facades with Graca’s love of street murals on a grand scale. 

Lisbon is a magical city with low rise buildings, great urban density and outstanding transit.
