Only some few years ago Lisbon was thought of by many as a strange and untidy place full of tumbledown buildings inhabited by poor people. This was certainly no good for the overall image of the capital of Portugal, all the more this country is often referred to as the 'Poor Man of Europe'. Much of the Lisbon's population found that the above is at least partially true, though still being proud of their bright and lively home city.
