In a nutshell
Europe's most underrated city
326 Reviews This building has become the symbol of Lisbon. It was built in 1515 as a fortress to guard the entrance to Lisbon's harbour. Many of the voyage of discoveries journeys left from here. The tower is listed as a world heritage monument by UNESCO. Get here by number 15 tram from Commercio Square or Cais...

General info on eating in Lisbon
43 Reviews Something to remember Portugal by is Cod fish prepared on 100 different ways. Called BACALHAU (I call it BACALAO) in Portugal. Bacalhau is very popular in Portugal.Some say there are 365 ways of cook Bacalhau, one for each day of the week. Others say there are 101 ways to prepare it. No mater who...
34 Reviews This cafe is very famous for its Portuguese egg tarts which are delicious. You can get take away (pay first then collect food) but we choose to sit in and have coffee, beer and egg tarts. The building is beautiful with absolutely lovely tiled walls. The cafe is really big and, though it was busy, we...
54 Reviews This was my favourite disco for many years exactly cause its very versatile and its frequented by all kind of people. The kind of music that passes here is house music. Its all decored in 70's stylle also with a nice esplanade infront of the River. At tuesdays they have the ladies night (women only...
65 Reviews On my way back from Belem to Lisbon I decided to take a break near the impressive Ponte 25 de Abril. Here I discovered the Doca de Santo Amaro; which is a strip full of all sorts of pubs and restaurants. Unfortunately, all places are a bit pricey, but the location is just unbeatable as it offers...

79 Reviews Lisbon's metro network consists of four colour-coded lines (blue, yellow, green and red). The first parts of the metro were inaugurated in 1959 and since then the network has always been extended. Nowadays the 4 lines consist of 48 stations and cover a distance of 37 km. The metro operates from...
61 Reviews The biggest Spanish chain conquered Lisbon. With the best accessibility among all the greater shopping malls (central location and Metro) this is an easy place to shop. Prices are not very cheap, but diversity in quality and brands, and the integration of space are the stronggest arguments. I must...
23 Reviews Antique shop, or old things´ shop, in Portuguese it is VELHARIAS. The most important thing about this shop is that it is not touristique, there you will find authentique Portuguese and European old things and antiques.You can go there on the way to well-known and one of the oldest fairs in Portugal...
49 Reviews If you're one that loves sweets and a dessert especially after a meal, this one is for you. However, that is if you love the tropical fruit mango since this particular dessert, and very much a Portuguese particular, is derived from and wholly made out of the mango. Basically this dessert is an...
53 Reviews Photo: What did I expect? I slippied my camera into my coat pocket rather than returning it to my handbag as we ran (hobbed in my case - I'd recently had knee surgery) to catch a tram to Belem on our first day in Lisbon. BIG MISTAKE!!! The tram wasn't too crowded and I got a seat butby the time we...
Hassles from people on the street
31 Reviews There are loads of guys trying to sell "drugs" in Downtown Lisbon. Usually they are gypsies, but maybe other sorts of people do. They moved along now to Bairro Alto as they discovered a new area to exploit. The police does not do anything because these people do not sell real drugs. It's rather fake...
9 Reviews I'm ashamed to say that in my own city, in the place where I've been in countless times (airport), and in the service I've used many times in the past, I or rather, we (as I was with my husband when it happened) could still fall victim to an airport taxi driver's ruse. We had just arrived at the...
12 Reviews It's true Lisbon can be dangerous at night (especially certain areas) mainly the downtown, but a lot of it is exagerated. I've been to Rossio many times at night (not alone obviously) and have never been mugged, robbed or even close to that. Ok so it was before 11pm... still it was already dark....

55 Reviews If you ever come to Lisbon you must go to Sintra. It's an amazing place, far from all the city problems, where you can relax in its marvelous nature, stroll around the beautiful and historic city center, or visit Palacio da Pena. Palacio da Pena is the most complete and notable example of...
53 Reviews A large building now used for military purposes, is something I can't qualify. It seems a fort, but it is only a palace with a style that... style? Well, just have a look and make no questions, because I don't know the answers, unless that it belonged to a rich man named Vasco Eugenio de Almeida,...
22 Reviews The Estadio da Luz is home to the Portuguese football club Sport Lisboa e Benfica. The stadium was inaugurated in October 2003 and it hosted several matches of the EURO 2004 including the final. With a capacity of 65400 it is the largest stadium in Portugal. The Eastdio da Luz was built on the...
80 Reviews If you plan to visit the castle (Castelo de Sao Jorge) that sits high on the hill overlooking downtown Lisbon, then you will take a bus or tram, or you might even opt for a nice hike up the hill, that will bring you EXACTLY to the overlook in Alfama called Miradouro da Graca. Take a moment to walk...
Lisbon neighborhoods and atmosphere
67 Reviews Lisbon's oldest quarter is the steep Alfama district which almost wasn't damaged during the 1755 earthquake. It is still home to some Roman and Arab remains. The Alfama district consists of an interesting mixture of cobbled alleys with drying laundry, tiny squares with chatting locals,...
