Hello
Does anyone know of any cafes, pubs or bars in Lisbon that show the Portuguese football and also have wifi coverage?
Thanks
Matt
Hi Matt.
Check here some places in Lisbon with free wifi coverage.
Portuguese football? When you'll you need it? Untill August it won't be portuguese football at all. Unless you're talking about the worldcup, and that you can see any place, i'm sure.
Regards
Hi thanks for the reply

This amazes me a lot. Lisboa (Lisbon in english) has TREES on many of its streets and avenues. Great. (smile) :-)
The picture of this tip - what a great postcard - is one shot I took at Avenida Elias Garcia (Elias Garcia Avenue) on June 14, 2006.
Little things about Lisbon
It lies between the Palace Square and the Rossio. By the XII century an estuary of the Tejo, after a "pool" where the rubble was deposited and an irregular urbanization was build. D. Dinis builds Rua Nova and a wall, D. Fernando another new wall, this one around the town, and D. Manuel sends bulldoze the sandy ground to build the Palacio da Ribeira. After the 1755 earthquake the labyrinthine seventy alleyways and courtyards, fifty streets, sixteen squares changes to a grid, reduced to ten streets oriented north to south and eight cross-cutting in east-west direction under the guidance of Marques de Pombal.
A glimpse of all this can be seen at Nucleo Arqueologico da Rua dos Correeiros.
This convent was founded in 1389 and its construction was completed in 1423. It was destroyed by the earthquake of 1755. Now it houses an archaeological museum
You can see part of it from Rossio.
For me this is the best time to visit the city. Santo Antonio's party happens on the night of the 12th june (Santo Antonio day is the 13th), and everyone in Lisbon comes out to the streets to celebrate.
Try climbing the little streets that go up to the castle, stopping here and there to eat a sardine and drink a glass of 'sangria' (the more you go up, the more cheap it gets)! And don't forget to buy a 'manjerico' for your loved one! (to smell it, put your hand over the leaves and smell your hand, if you smell directly it dies faster!)
However, you have to get inside the mood of it... Don't expect great higienic conditions on the food stalls! But it's just part of the fun, trust me...
If you get tired of the smell of the sardines, come down to Avenida da Liberdade, where there is the 'Marchas' contest. In this contest, every neighbourhood of Lisbon organizes a group, with dresses and music according to the theme they choose (something related to Lisbon and its history), that comes dancing down the Avenida. Its a great show full of colour, music and joy, but don't expect to see much of it if you arrive late. Streets get pretty crowded!
Wines are something Portugal is well known for. As far as the local wines are concerned, we must not forget young vinho verde and aged port wines. Because usually young wines are for us not the best choice with food, we stayed at couple of good typical portuguese alternatives:
1) dry and good quality wine Planalto from Douro
2) typical Grao Vasco from Dao
3) young Casal Garcia
BUT, we couldn´t find Solar do Vinho do Porto in order to taste different portos, it must have been closed. Well, anyway, portos are quite not my favourite.
