Trams in Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon, built on seven hills, is not like other cities. When we say hills, it’s more like residential mountains. Some of these hills are so steep and grueling for the likes of newbies, that the trams are a welcomed mode of transportation. The tram network comprises of antiquated “Remodelado” trams and the modern “Articulado” trams.

Funicular to Fourvière in Lyon, France

The funicular or tram that brings us up towards either the Roman Amphitheatre or Fourvière is an adorable little red cart that climbs the steep hill so we don't have to.

Bird's-eye View in Lyon, France

Lyon was home for a solid two weeks when I was studying abroad for grad school. I'm not sure where I picked up the philosophy from, but every new city I go to, I try to find the Birdseye view and memorize the map of the city. I find it centers me and lets me appreciate the city from a different point of view.
