Advantages: A Vibrant City with a Cosmopolitan Atmosphere Disadvantages: A bit hilly for some
boost by the opening of a museum dedicated to the area. The museum situated on Rua Serpa Pinto is architecturally interesting and houses Portuguese art from the late 19th century to the present day. Chiado is also a busy shopping area and a stroll past the shop windows will reveal exquisitely elegant interiors with ornamental plasterwork, paintings and mirrored glass cabinets.
A number of bars and cafes in the vicinity will provide not only welcome refreshment but another glimpse into Lisbon's past. Cervajaria da Trindade is a traditional beer hall housed in an old monastery with some fine 19th century hand painted wall tiles.
The Alfama is the oldest area of Lisbon and one of my favourites for atmosphere and character but there is another area that is nearly as atmospheric and that is the Bairro Alto. This area was planned as ...
Advantages: Reasonably priced, lots to do, good food, great architecture Disadvantages: Not really any
We visited Lisbon this September having decided to go there instead of Rome. It has to be said that we were initially motivated by the fact that an equivalent holiday- same number of days, same rating of accommodation- was about HALF the price of Rome.
Lisbon is a fascinating place, the overall impression being of a city of great style and architecture, the ancient (colossal old buildings, grubby but striking statues and monuments) rubbing shoulders with the modern (great trains and tube, some flashy restaurants). It may be because of this that it took a little getting used to.
We arrived on the Saturday evening- admittedly a little late following various delays with the flight and then the bus, which became stuck in rush hour traffic- at our hotel, the Travel Pak in the Anjos area of the city. We ventured out to see if we could ...

Advantages: Plenty to see, good food, the trams, nice people Disadvantages: Can't think of any, unless you count having a really odd-sounding language!
?s when your driver remembers to turn the meter on that is! One of ours didn?t but we gave him ?5 for his honesty. However, the Lisboncard (Lisboacarte) does also give access to longer national rail journeys too. For instance we also took the train to Estoril and Cascais, two well-known resorts to the west of Lisbon. This is like buying a London Travelcard and finding that it includes Southend or even Brighton. The Lisboacarte is a ?touch-card? like London?s Oyster, and to initiate it, you just use it, writing the time and date on it, in case it comes in for any ?non-automatic? inspection.
To navigate the metro, you just have to know the colour of line and the end stop of your direction of travel, like in Paris. Probably the most useful metro station is Baixa-Chiado (pronounced B-eye-shah Shah-doo) which is not only firmly ?downtown?, but ...
