Dear VT people,
Coming Thursday I will travel to Lisbon and arrive at the international airport at 22:25 PM. I have made a reservation for Hotel do Chile **
Rua António Pedro, nº 40 / 1000-039 Lisboa / Portugal (Junto ao Metro de Arroios)
So my first question is:
How do I get from the airport to that hotel at that time of the day by public transport? As I arrive 22:25PM. Or shuld I just go with a taxi?
My second question is:
I want to visit Fatima when I' m in Lisbon. Would like to do that by bus (guess that' s the cheapest and the most fun) and would like to have some advice. What' s the best way (take into account the Hotel where I'm staying) to get from Lisbon to Fatima?
Brgds

Hi,
About visiting Fátima:
During weekdays there are buses leaving about every hour (first at 7 a.m.), from Lisboa. The trip is about 120 km and takes around 1h30m. The last return Fátima - Lisboa is at 8p.m.
The ticket costs 10 euros,each way, so the return trip should cost you 20 euros.
The bus leaves/returns from Sete Rios (the zoo). There is a metro station called Jardim Zoológico (means zoo in Portuguese), it's by the bus. See the metro diagram in this link:
http://www.metrolisboa.pt/Default.aspx?tabid=79
Your hotel is situated in green line and zoo in blue line, you must change line once.
The bus website is Portuguese but they have this brochure which is also in English.

Apart from Fátima, it suggests other destinations.
About the airport at night:
I usually don't visit that area of Lisboa at night and by public transportation, so I can't advise about security. But the airport takes a bit long to handle the luggage so you may suffer some delay, ... If the taxi driver is honest, it won't charge you much, so I'd say go by taxi. Hint: try to get a taxi at the departures and not at arrivals, follow the signs for departures. That's what we do. :)
Enjoy Lisboa!

YOu are only 2 miles from the airport, almost a straight shot up Gago Coutinho. At that time I would just take a taxi. Karl
I agree that on arrival at the airport at that time a taxi is the best option to reach the hotel. The district of Arroios is not on the either of the airport bus routes and it would be a complex journey which you do not want after a long flight.
You can only reach Fatima by bus. There is a railway station called Fatima but it is many km from the town and a taxi from the station to town would cost more than the bus fare from Lisbon.
Have a good trip.
Hi there.
From the airport to Metro Station “Arroios”, one option (probably the cheapest one), is:
To get the Bus, you must go to the departures level, and walk 10 minutes:
http://maps.google.pt/maps?hl=pt-PT&tab=wl
Take bus # 750 from “Pc. Aeroporto” (1,40 €), and get out in “Campo Grande”, just close to the stadium. From there, take the “Metro” green line till “Arroios” (0,81 € + 0,50 € for the card that is rechargable and refundable).
At that hour, i think that won’t be many more buses.
The bus: http://www.carris.pt/en/bus/750/ascendente/
This will take no more than 45 min.
To Fatima, there are several buses from “Sete Rios / Jardim zoologico”. It will be 10 euros each way, and take around 1H15 min (124 kms). No need to book in advance.
Check “Rede Expressos” for example.
Train will be expensiver and less frequent.
Have a pleasent stay.

If you're looking for a nice day trip, Obidos is a good place to go. It's a small town surrounded by a Medieval castle wall, with narrow cobblestone streets, and filled with cute little shops and restaurants. I enjoyed shopping and climbing up into the castle walls.
Everybody kept telling us that the 'Fado' they play for you in restaurants isn't a real Fado, but it's created for tourists. When I visited the beautiful fortress in Lisbon (Sao Vicente I believe) there was an appr. 80 year old lady sitting on the castle walls singing so beautifully. I listened to her for about a half an hour and I don't think I will ever forget her. I think she showed us a real Fado
The main Post Offices, known in Portugal as Correios, are open from 8.30am – 6.00pm on Weekdays and until 12.30pm on Saturdays. If you are purchasing stamps then the Portuguese word for it is ‘selo’. Many shops (which show a red horse) will also sell stamps.
These are the famous Custard Tarts as you can find almost everywhere in Portugal.
Of course there are small variations among the different "pastelarias" (pastry houses) throughout the country. The most well known are the Pasteis de Belém, but like everything else ...when they start to be famous... sometimes the quality fades... unfortunately this was the case (although they are still quite good). I prefer the ones from small pastry houses out, unfortunately "off the touristy trail" ("Espiga Sol" in Telheiras, a neighborhood in Lisbon, for instance).
Pastry to line the containers:
• 500 g flour
• 300 g water
• 10 g salt
• 400 g margarine (for pastries)
Work the flour with water and salt, make a ball, cut it in the shape of a cross until its middle, pull the 4 sides outwards (forming a 4 point star), place the margarine in the centre and grab the points upwards (mix the margarine); with a pastry roller extend the mixture till up to 40×15 cm, fold 1×3 (simple fold) wait 10 minutes and fold again, fold 1×4 (book fold) wait 10 minutes. Extend the mixture until it gets a thickness of + or - 4 mm, sprinkle with water in all its extension. Roll it like a tort and with a diameter of + or - 4 cm, cut it in round slices 1 cm thick and place them in the containers (8 cm diameter but you can use other shapes). Wait 10 minutes.
Wet your thumb with water, press the centre of the round slice and push the mixture
to the top of the container.
Custard cream:
• 0,5 l skim milk
• 70 g flour (no raising powder)
• 5 g corn flour or cornstarch (aka Maizena)
• 0,5 L sugar syrup 32º Baumé
• 5 egg yolks
• 1 egg
• Vanilla (a bit)
To prepare the sugar syrup: 1 kg sugar, 0,5 L boiling water = 32º bumé.
Dissolve the flour and the corn flour in part of the milk, approx. 1 dL, boile the remaining of the milk, pour it over the four and mix energetically so that it does not crumble.
Add the sugar syrup bit by bit, always stirring. Add the yolks and the egg.
Cook at approx. 180º C (350º F) for about 8 minutes, not more.
Enjoy
Now that you've made it to this point of my Lisbon site, did you know that you can find a statue of Virtual Tourist in Lisboa?
It is by the Belgian scupltor Folon who had an exposition of his statues at Castelo as well as some placed around the city!
