This morning I left Porto and returned to Lisbon. I am staying in an area outside of the historic district and the site of Expo ’98. The Moxy hotel is located ideally next to the Oriente train station with easy access to the airport and Lisbon.
This afternoon I explored the Oriente area of Lisbon. A new and modern area of Lisbon with little character. There is a large mall, aquarium, office buildings and a nice walking path along the water front.
The Vasco da Gama Bridge is Europe’s longest bridge. The bridge was opened in 1998 and crosses the Rio Tejo river connecting Lisbon to southern Portugal.
