My visit to Viseu, PortugalsteemCreated with Sketch.

Here I leave some photos from the little and pretty city of Viseu, in Portugal:

This is Hotel Montebelo, where I stayed during my visit. Excelent place to rest, with two swimming pools, one outside, one inside. There's also a sauna, a turkish bath and a jacuzzi. And the price? Not as expensive as you'd think. I've paid a lot more... for a lot less, in other places.

Here's the view from the front of the Hotel:

And the view from the room I stayed:

Near to the hotel, I found this lovely statue:

A few steps away, there was some kind of graffiti on a house, which I loved:

Another interesting street art work, with great colours:

This is a small crossing bridge over River Paiva:

This is the statue of Viriato, one of the leaders of the Lusitanian Tribe that confronted the Romans in the Iberic Peninsulana. Viriato lived between 181 BC and 139 BC.

This is a view from one of the highest parts of the town. Those yellow lines in the ground are a funicular railway, a ride you can take to enjoy the views of the city:

Here's a restored and well kept church:

And an older church. (We have lots and lots of churches in Portugal. There are more in the town, but I won't post them all here.)

A lovely traditional house. These were built to last and stand the test of time:

And finally, here's a photo taken from the outskirts of Viseu:

If you decide to visit this town, keep in mind it's a small place, so 3 or 4 days, at most, will be enough for you to experience it.

That's it, for now. I hope you enjoyed it. ( That includes you, @banjo and @cleverbot )

Great trip to the beautiful Portugal. Thank you for your photos :)

I'm glad you liked it.

Oh.. Well I know you like video games, because you told me to remember.

They could not tell if someone even tell me no.
