Bom dia! My name is Julie, I’m living in Amsterdam and I love this wonderful city, but I also fell in love with Lisbon!
Lisbon & the castle of St John. Square: Martim Moniz 2010
We (together with my son) started a blog in 2008, ‘ a Lisbon guide from the inside’, with lots of ideas to discover Lisbon.
In 2002, I bought an apartment in Lisbon in the historical area Mouraria.

Dear Julie,
I am english student studying for my PhD at the Gulbenkian Institute in Oeiras. I moved to Lisbon last summer and have been living with my boyfriend (who is portuguese) near Lisbon.
Today i discovered your website whilst looking for a restaurant to go to this weekend. It is a wonderful website! It is exactly what i have been looking for since i moved here, to help me discover Lisbon, from the inside, as you say.
Your apartments have lovely character and i will certainly recommend them when i have relatives and friends coming to stay to visit. I would love to live there myself!!
Thank you once again for a brilliant website, i now know exactly where to look for all the information i ever need to enjoy living in Lisbon.
Best regards,
Liz
Dear Julie we walked from the castle down to praça Martin Muniz and we found exactly the opposite of what you describe as a fascinating charming multicultural and unforgettable area.
A neighborhood full of rubbish, pusher, drunken people, some young boys and girls lying on matraces on the floor among the garbage. Maybe fentanyl has arrived..Policeman, cleaners, institutions are totally absent from this area. There is absolutely nothing charming in this area and you should think about your article. The other touristic attraction, the famous tram number 28 E requests 2 hours line to be reached and there is absolutely nothing romantic in this queuing under the sun with 30 degrees. It is a tourist trap surrounded by Tuk Tukt sellers asking you 80 euros for one hour tour of the town. I’m afraid that something changed since you lived in Lisbon… sorry.
