Lisbon City Guide: what to see and where to go

Follow me on Instagram

Winter blossoms are some of my favourite flowers. Came across this beauty a couple weeks ago at #londonloop Section 6. Have a lovely Friday. PS - I’m 28 tomorrow and it would mean the WORLD if you could help me break the £600 barrier fundraising for @refugecharity ... link in bio!! #idhikethat #hikersofinstagram #onthetrail #walkyourcity #walkinglondon #fundraising

Happy Monday! This week is one of my favourites because it marks the start of Pisces season - aka my birth week (can you guess in the comments how old I’m turning?). While things have not exactly turned out the way I once thought, I’m pretty proud that I’m walking the #londonloop for @refugecharity . Link in bio to donate 🙏 and help women get out of domestic violence. A huge thank you to my first 2 guests @imagintedbritt and @travelling_through for being real champs and joining me on sections 6 and 8, respectively. I can’t wait to see more of you on the trail. #teamrefuge #travelwithmer #piscesseason #survivor #hikersofinstagram #londonwalks #londonparks #welivetowander #followingthegirls_ #coolplacestogo #wotwtravel #sheisthewild #theunitedkingdom #missadventure #girlstoptravel #myfavouritecity #wanderingwomen #bestcommunitytravel #mytravelblog #travelgirlshub #idhikethatcrew #outinlondon #loves_united_london #mytinyatlaslondon #humlondon #londontravel

#throwbackthursday to 2018. For my 26th birthday I went to Copenhagen, I remember I was so excited to finally see the Danish capital! That trip was a proper tourist city escape, we did it all! We visited The Little Mermaid, the Round Tower, Christiania and, of course, Tivoli! The setting of this theme park, one of the oldest in Europe, reminded me of Winter Wonderland. What’s your favourite European capital? #travelwithmer #coolplacestogo #slowtravelling #wotwtravel #missadventure #folk_life_mood #nowtravel #beautifulcityview #bestcommunitytravel #allaboutadventure #theglobewanderers #escapeandwonder #walkinthecity #thetraveltribe #globetravelgram #wildvisuals #awesometravel #cooltravelpix #lovethistown #darlingescape #inlovewiththiscity #traveltherenext #tivoligardens #copenhagenlife #nyhavn #traveldenmark #tivoligardens #scandinavia

Second day I’m staying home sick, so I’m dreaming of the outdoors. What’s the most whimsical landscape you’ve found on a walk or hike? My #londonloop walk on Saturday took me through @mayfieldlavender and it’s as beautiful as in summer. Please remember that the farm is CLOSED out of season, and walkers and hikers MAY NOT leave the public footpath to go into the lavender lines. #mayfieldlavenderfarm #travelwithmer #welivetowander #wotwtravel #destinationdiscoveries #sheisthewild #theunitedkingdom #travelwithmeaning #adventureinyou #bestcommunitytravel #outinlondon #walkinthecity #loves_united_london #imtb #travelnomad #hikemoreworryless #travelwithpurpose #responsibletourism #likealocal

Last week’s sections of the London Loop took me to my limits, both physically and psychologically. However, there were FIVE moments that took my breath away: 1. When I first spotted central London and the skyscrapers from afar 2. When the 70-year-old couple at Addington Hill lent me their binoculars, pointed how the skyline had changed, and held my hands while appreciating my fundraising 3. When I started Section 5 and the light started to dim, but I promised me a rest on top of a quarry (THIS PICTURE RIGHT HERE!) 4. When I came out of the woods and onto the magnificence of the Happy Valley 5. When I dragged my tired legs and soul over Farthing downs as the sun was setting Tomorrow will be a different, shorter walk - 7km (4.3m) with @imagintedbritt #travelwithmer #welivetowander #coolplacestogo #wotwtravel #destinationdiscoveries #folk_life_mood #londoneyeview #myfavouritecity #travelwithmeaning #adventureinyou #conscioustravel #sofetravel #beautifulcityview #idhikethatcrew #escapeandwonder #discovertheglobe #outinlondon #walkinthecity #teamrefuge #fundraising

Convento do Carmo, in Lisbon, is a derelict church turned into the country’s first archeological museum. It’s bang on in the middle of Chiado so very easy to get to and it won’t break the bank, either. Avoid the middle of the day if you don’t like crowds, and once you’ve had your share of architecture turn right as you leave. You’ll see the Elevador do Santa Justa - without having to queue! Link in bio for the full city guide, enjoy! #travelwithmer #welivetowander #coolplacestogo #destinationdiscoveries #thedreamytravels #adventuretravels #lovelyviews #myfavouritecity #nowtravel #inspiredtravel #daretoexplore #beautifulcityview #citystroll #escapeandwonder #walkinthecity #travelabout #lisbon #visitportugal #lisbonstreets #lisbonlife
