We motivated by 5:30 and decided to go for a neighborhood walk before dinner. We obtained a map of the city from the concierge and asked for directions to the nearest cathedral – the Basilica de Estrela.

We motivated by 5:30 and decided to go for a neighborhood walk before dinner. We obtained a map of the city from the concierge and asked for directions to the nearest cathedral – the Basilica de Estrela.
It was a great walk – in the golden hour of the evening. Many were on their way home, walking dogs, riding the trolley car/tram. Lots of people were gathered in outdoor cafes, or small local coffee bars.

| House across from our hotel - you can see it's a hilly walk! |
 |
| Wrought iron window barriers, balconies, door frames, terraces in every direction |

| Tile facades and wrought iron filigree |

 |
| Public transportation is easy and we considered hopping on - but wanted to stretch our legs |
