My name is Maria Cristina Vidal, i was born in Lisbon and i love my city, where i studied History and Arts History, where i have some of my best friends and family. Nowadays , i live outside, at 25mn away.
Lisbon has an active lifestyle, but also light, cool, with many cultural offers and where we can be easily talking or take a walk with friends, near by the river or at any of the many nice city gardens.
The Expo area, the new orient zone, is perfect for all the open air activities, shopping, movies, and visits to the thematic pavillions, as the one of Knowlwdge and Science, and the great Oceanary, with some of the best aquatic world specimens.
Also by the rivershore, at 200mts straight away from the apartment, we can find all kind of activities, since nautic, at the Nautic Club in Belém, the sail boat trips, fishing, bycicles renting, segways, tuktuks, walks, horse cars, river cruises, to the pleasure of enjoying a relaxing sunset, in one of the many splanades across the city, listening any world music, or a good fado , our national song, in one of the tipic fado 'houses', or at the Fado Museum, where we can also have dinner, listening some of our best interpreters.
Lisbon has a very rich cultural and architecture patrinomy,showing traces still from it's greek foundation, also from all the different and many civilazations that cross this land and left their marks, till its most glorious epoch, when Portugal open its frontiers and made a vast empire, in the five continents.
Despite all the big natural catastrophies, the city reborned from the ashes, keeping many of the traces from the earlier civilazations.
Despite the fantastic and well preserved historic center, Lisbon is also a very modern and vibrant capital, with all the newest technologies, cultural life and health centers offers.

The building is an original prototype of the 'gaiola pombalina', a building technic appeared at the XVIII century, before the big earthquake in 1755, that destroied the most part of the city.
It has a lobby in stone, is spacious, with high ceilings, big door/windows with balconies, two original XVII century tail walls,wooden floors, and all the rest of materials are also original, even the glasses, hand made done.
