We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Lisbon thinks sardines are a personality trait. You've built an entire cultural identity around the fish equivalent of canned mediocrity. Every tourist leaves convinced they experienced 'authentic cuisine' after eating what amounts to pet food with a side of overpriced bread.
Your most famous attraction is literally public transportation that breaks down more than your housing market. Tourists pay premium prices to be sardined into yellow death traps that move at the speed of Portuguese bureaucracy while locals can't afford to live anywhere the tram actually goes.
You've somehow convinced the world that custard in pastry is culinary genius worthy of international pilgrimage. Every bakery acts like they're guarding state secrets when it's literally eggs, sugar, and tourist desperation baked into overpriced mediocrity.
Congratulations, you've successfully transformed your capital into an overpriced Instagram backdrop where locals can't afford rent but laptop warriors can cosplay 'authentic European living.' Your own people get priced out of their neighborhoods so a guy named Tyler can take Zoom calls from a rooftop bar and call it 'immersion.'
