: 🏨🌿 Pestana National Monument Palace Hotel Lisbon 📍 Address: Rua Jau 54, Lisbon Portugal For this trip, we chose the famous Pestana National Monument Palace Hotel in Lisbon. This hotel is located outside the city center but a short drive from the Belem District. We started from Rato Metro Station and it took about 10 minutes to get there, which was very convenient. The location of this hotel is very good, you can see beautiful scenery from the room, especially the hotel is located on the top of a hill, overlooking the entire Lisbon. The first time I walked into the hotel, I was fascinated by its decoration style. The hotel retains the ancient palace style, elegant decoration and historical paintings, making people feel like they are in an art museum. The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly. During check-in, he introduced various facilities of the hotel and also gave a welcome drink, which was very considerate. 🎉 Our room was a spacious suite with a strong classic feel. Moreover, some Chinese elements were incorporated into the room, which made us feel very friendly. The bed was very comfortable, with the right amount of firmness, allowing us to have a good rest after a busy day. The facilities in the room are also very complete, including mini bar, safe and air conditioning. Every detail has been considered very well. 🛌✨ In addition to the room itself, the hotel's public facilities are also very satisfactory. There are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, as well as a gym. Friends who like swimming or fitness can find activities suitable for them here. We also experienced the hotel's spa service, which was a great experience to relax and unwind. The food in the restaurant is also quite delicious, especially the breakfast and dinner at the Valle Flor restaurant. Every dish is exquisite cuisine, a double enjoyment of taste and vision. 🍽️🥂 After resting in the hotel, the hotel garden is also a good place to go. It is very pleasant to stroll through the lush green gardens and feel the tranquility of nature. After breakfast, the hotel staff recommended some surrounding attractions and restaurants. There is Lisbon Commercial Plaza nearby, which is very suitable for taking photos. There are also several good restaurants, such as Il Mercato Páteo Bagatela and Come Prima Restaurante Italiano, which are good places to taste local cuisine. This stay was a very pleasant experience. The Pestana National Monument Palace Hotel is really worth recommending to everyone. If I have the opportunity to come to Lisbon again, I will definitely choose here again and enjoy this luxurious hotel full of classic beauty. 🌺🏰

Took the “Golden Bus” from Hong Kong to Macau for the first time. It was a quick way to get there if you’re looking for a cheap and easy method. You can buy the bus tickets online also so it’s convenient. The food court in Mercado de S. Domingos Municipal Complex has a variety of choice. Had a bowl of curry soup noodle to start the day in Macau.
