It is with all propriety that the author who challenged young children to get to know the city through her guide “Um Saltinho a Lisboa” now prepares a version for longer legs, especially for us. Alfama, Castelo, Baixa, Chiado and Belém remain for Isabel Zambujal the boroughs of the city to which one should devote more attention because “without them Lisbon would not be Lisbon”. If we should follow her for a day in Lisbon, we will go on a walk by the river, lose ourselves in the alleys of the oldest areas of the city, sit on a terrace reading or writing, attend a concert, theater play or movie session or enjoy an exhibition. And, if there is still energy, dance until sleep comes.
