Experience in Lisbon, Portugal by Radulescu

What is it like to live in Lisboa? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

I have visited Lisboa for 3 months and it is amazing. It is a beautiful city, big enough, the beach is near, about 20-30 kilometers and the people are awesome and nice with the foreigners. I recommend this city to all people who can visit it and to all Erasmus students. Always are parties in this city, especially between students and the weather is fine. In September and the beginning of October, you can go to the seaside. The transport is not expensive, about 30 euros per month and the culture is incredible. Is the most beautiful city I have ever seen and I hope to live hear in the near future.
