is leg day. One of Western Europe’s oldest cities was built on seven hills that are so steep, some streets have special elevators just to help you ascend them. For the ones that don’t, the level of exertion is necessary if you happen to have eaten six custard tarts before noon in a comparative pastéis de nata tasting. , an eight-day sailing from Lisbon to Amsterdam.
Our remaining ports of call included Cherbourg in France, Bruges in Belgium, and Saint Helier on Jersey island. Cherbourg is a popular port for cruise ships because of its proximity to the D-Day beaches, but it is also close to Normandy’s apple orchards and the heart of cider and Calvados production.
