One of the first things you notice about Lisbon is the sidewalks. All of them are made from small square stones--either beige or black. Most of the city's squares and downtown sidewalks are covered in amazing patterns.
A lot of the squares are huge, and the amount of work involved is mind-boggling... It is, of course, all done by hand. Occasionally you come across two-man crews repairing sections.
Here's the view from the top of a hill. There are a LOT of hills in Lisbon. And are they steep! Whenever you get up high, you can see the ocean.
