Creator's Key Takeaways
Lisbon is one of the most walkable capitals in the world.
We were sailing with MSC and the captain came on to tell everyone we should go on deck because we were about to sail right under the bridge with only inches to spare.
Portugal will have the best English.
It is very definitely a hit.
