Where was Super Shy filmed? What’s Lisbon, Portugal?

Lisbon is the capital and the largest city of Portugal, boasting a rich history and diverse culture. Built on seven hills, this city offers stunning cityscapes, from ancient castles, spectacular seaside views, to charming old districts. Lisbon is one of the earliest founded cities in Western Europe, earlier than Rome, London, and Paris, with its history dating back to 1200 BC. Lisbon is also known for its hilly terrain, with streets often steep and winding.

Many of Lisbon's streets are paved with traditional "calcada portuguesa" (Portuguese pavement), a type of pavement that uses small white and black stones to create various beautiful patterns on the ground. It is also renowned as a city of street art, particularly graffiti art.

Where were New Jeans waving to fans from a crowded lawn downhill?

Jardim do Torel is a park located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal. It is a lesser-known secret terrace garden in the city. Situated on Santana Hill, it offers an excellent view of the city, especially during sunset.

There are several entrances to Jardim do Torel. You can take a tram called "Lavara" to reach there. However, if you prefer walking, you can start from Avenida da Liberdade, cross Calçada do Moinho de Vento, and arrive in about ten minutes.

The park is extensive and serene, featuring many beautiful flowers, mature trees, a small lake, and a fountain. The Neoclassical architectural style visible within the park adds a touch of the historical 19th century to the place.

Inside the park, there's also a café where visitors can sit and enjoy a drink while experiencing the tranquillity of the park and the stunning view of the city. During the hot summer days, a city beach area is set up for visitors to cool off.
