I love Amsterdam, but I also fell in love with Lisbon! That’s why we (together with my son, Martijn Pelle) created this website, ‘ a Lisbon guide from the inside’,  with lots of ideas to discover Lisbon.

Besides: my apartment in Lisbon  in Mouraria (historical center) is for rent (short time rentals).
