Norway is, hands-down, so far the most beautiful place that I’ve been. All I can say is NORWOW!

Panoramic view of Lisbon from the top of Cristo-Rei, with 25 de Abril Bridge in the foreground.

A traditional form of public transport in Lisbon is the tram. Introduced in the 19th century, the trams were originally imported from the USA and called americanos. The Lisbon tramway system still employs small (four wheel) vehicles of a design dating from the early part of the twentieth century. These distinctive yellow trams are one of the tourist icons of modern Lisbon, and their size is well suited to the steep hills and narrow streets of the central city.
