A voyage of discovery in lovely Lisbon

The Portuguese capital Lisbon has an abundance of beautiful buildings that hark back to its golden past. Eoghan Cormican stretches his feet to check out the Tower of Belém, Vasco de Gama’s tomb and many other attractions, such as the old town. 

FIRST of all I have a confession to make. Prior to landing on Lisbon’s doorstep I had never been on a foreign holiday. I know, I know.

There was the first year soccer trip to Manchester, the transition year tour of Milan, the history excursion to Berlin, the debating weekend in Strasbourg, the DCU Journalism Society outing in London, each one littered with agendas, itineraries and curfews. Lisbon was different, however. One man, one city.
