Dear Blanca,
With all the fun and eclectic vibrancy of Lisbon’s colorful streets, I’m wondering what types of transportation are available to get around. Will I be able to explore this marvelous city in a Miami Mustang, a Pittsburgh Pony, or a St. Louis Super-sled?
Cheerfully curious in Charlotte, NC,
