Lisbon - Queluz Palace from 18th Century Royal Palace

 A bit nicer today, our plans are to go to visit Queluz Palace, which is a stop on the same train that goes to Sintra.  I think every tourist was on the way to Sintra today, crazy busy at the train station to get our tickets, and the train was packed.  We have previously been to Sintra and explored quite a bit of Lisbon, so spending today outside the city.


On the way to the train station, Don Pedro IV statue in Don Pedro Square


Many many hills in Lisbon

Beautiful train station

Queluz Palace

This section is now a hotel, pretty sure out of our price range 

Visiting the interior of the palace

Beautiful gardens, even out of season

Restoration being done in the chapel in the Palace




Every panel was different, the 4 seasons and the 4 continents 

Amazing tapestries


Another view outside the Palace

This was built for boating










Lunch in the city of Queluz at a little local place




Back in Lisbon, so may stairs to climb



Barrio Alto district, beautiful views!


Wanted to try this bar, unfortunately only open at night


Beautiful coffee shop









So many to choose from








This market was so busy!  This market is from the 1890's


Great Subway system in Lisbon, easy to use

Mexican happy hour Halloween decorations still up



Local place for amazing chicken for supper


Cheaper to buy 4 cones than one at the little corner store, Andre made a couple of homeless people happy when he shared
