Then we opted for the easy way to get a flavour of the city - the Tourist Bus!
In 1755 the beautiful city of Lisbon was struck by one of the deadliest earthquakes ever. The city was mostly destroyed and 10,000 - 100,000 people lost their lives. Some people went out in boats for safety and perished in the tsunami that followed. Quakes were felt as far away as Italy and Morocco. Morocco, Spain, Portugal, France and the British Isles were affected to a greater or lesser extent by the tsunami.
However despite the desolation, this Roman viaduct survived!
