Loquacious Lisbon

Advantages: A Vibrant City with a Cosmopolitan Atmosphere
Disadvantages: A bit hilly for some

Lisbon or Lisboa is the capital of Portugal and enjoys a marvellous position. To the northeast of the city the River Tagus opens out to form the shining Mar de Palha (sea of straw). The city stands on the northwest bank of this lake just before it narrows and flows out into the Atlantic Ocean. For miles and miles, homes, factories, warehouses and port installations carpet the steep hills and valleys along the estuary. Lisbon is sometimes called the ...
...harbour towns in the world. Lisbon has many miradouros (lookout points) that provide panoramic views over the river Tagus and the city. A tour of the city on foot will also reveal many otherwise hidden sights. Just a few yards from the roar of city traffic, steep flights of steps disappear into sleepy corners where caged birds sing. Idyllic parks with exotic plants and peaceful fountains are a refuge from the hectic hurly-burly of the frenetic city ... more

Lisbon - Capital City On A Human Scale

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!

...eat a whole one. Lisbon is a coastal city, about halfway ‘up’ Portugal on the western coast. It sits by the estuary of the Tagus River, or Rio Tejo. Despite being an Latin country, it is NOT a Mediterranean country since all of its coast borders the Atlantic Ocean – it’s very easy to forget this simple fact as some aspects of Portuguese life are so similar in feel and infrastructure to those of neighbouring Spain – just don’t tell anyone Portuguese ...
...the predictable buses and taxis, Lisbon has a metro of four separate lines (Linha Azul, Amarela, Verde and Vermelha – Blue, Yellow, Green and Red lines). Other lines and extensions are planned, and I rather got the impression that this first tranche had been put in, in advance of Expo’98 which was held in redeveloped dockland to the north east of the city. That is to say, nothing looked brand new, but it wasn’t worn out either. Trains have air-con ...

Lovely Lisbon

Advantages: a really nice city
Disadvantages: none

Why Lisbon at all? Why a second time after twenty-odd years? The first time it was curiosity that made us choose this destination: what is that capital like at the edge of Europe? Not many details stayed in mind after such a long time but the ones that did were positive ones and we remembered a general sense of well-being, so when my husband and I discussed where to spend a week around Easter this year, Lisbon came to mind. Easter was very early ...
...saw the real beginning of Lisbon as it is today, Portuguese navigators sailed round the world bringing back gold and diamonds from South America (today Brazil), slaves and ivory from Africa (Angola and Mozambique), silk and spices from India (Goa) to mention the most important places making the city and the country unbelievably rich. One would assume that architectural gems mirror the former wealth, that the city is full of Gothic, Renaissance and ...

A long weekend in Lisbon

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 ...
...effectively a little suburb of Lisbon but which has some fantastic architecture- the famous Monument of the Explorers, and not only that but possibly one of the grandest monasteriesI've ever seen. The interior of the place took my breath away- I've seen some pretty good cathedrals in England, but this (and don't forget this is a monastery, not a cathedral) was something else. The stained glass was the best I'd ever seen, the pillars vast and high ...

Lisbon - vibrant and relaxing

Advantages: Pretty easy to get to from UK
Disadvantages: Lots to see not enough time!

...locals call their city – Lisbon to us British types – was my latest holiday destination. Literally just returned at the time of writing (well 22 hours ago). We were looking for somewhere no too far away, warmer than the UK and reasonably priced. A friend had told me that Portugal was pretty inexpensive in terms of a holiday location. So, given that I plan to visit all European capital cities, I figured I’d add Lisbon to my list of those visited. ...
...however. Getting Around Lisbon has a terrific public transport system (don’t most countries other than the UK?). We used the metro everyday. The cost for a 5 day pass was 12 Euros each which gave unlimited use of metro, trams and buses. The metro was amazing. Each station had unique designs in tiles and with some statues etc. It was also spotlessy clean for the most part! Weather February is winter in Lisbon. As such the temperatures never got ...

There is more to Portugal than the Algarve - visit Lisbon

Advantages: Easy to get around and different quirky places to visit, everyone speaks English
Disadvantages: The City seems a bit 'faded glory'- places uncared for and tired

A Day trip to Lisbon We spent a week in the Algarve in June 2009 and during this week we chose to book a trip with ‘Follow Me’ tours to Lisbon for the day. The trip was 34 Euros per person which we thought was good value as the toll on the A2 is 18 Euros each way for a car and then we would have had to pay to park the car and of course petrol as well as the fact that we were not sure where all the sites were. We had to meet by the Dolphin roundabout ...
...Lisbon. As we approached Lisbon she told us about the toll on the A22 and the various industries approaching Lisbon and the fact that we would go into Lisbon over the April 25th Bridge and see the huge statue of Christo Rei which is a bit like the Corcovado in Rio and overlooks the city of Lisbon from a great height. This bridge was the first to cross the Tejo and was originally called Saladar Bridge until the coup overthrew the Fascist dictator ...

A Contemporary Hotel Near to a Beautiful Monastery

Advantages: Well situated - close to famous attraction and good transport links
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

Jeronimos 8 is one of the most contemporary hotels I have come across in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. It has a real 'designer' feel to the establishment and makes a refreshing change from the heavy wood furniture and long draped curtains that you come across quite a lot in Portugal. The hotel is well connected by tram, bus and train to the city centre. To save on costs whilst travelling to and from the hotel I suggest you purchase a Sete Colinas travel card from the nearest kiosk or newsagents. Location wise it is in a great situation - very near to some of the favourite and most famous attractions. For example: my favourite and one of Lisbon's most beautiful Manueline pieces of architecture - Jeronimos Monastery is only 200 metres from the hotel. Torre de Belem and the Monument of the Discoveries are a walk away at 1.5 kilometres ...

Review of Jeronimos 8, Lisbon

great fun on the independence of the seas

Advantages: Overall it was a fantastic holiday and would not hesitate to go again.
Disadvantages: The ship is very very big and felt bit impersonal at times

made to feel special with all the attention from the waiters. We paid our gratuities up front but wish we hadnt, as we ate mainly in the windjammer but of course the tips went to the dining room staff. Our ports of call were vigo spain, cadiz,spain, lisbon portugal, gibralter, citavvechia for rome, livorno for pisa/florence, cannes france and calgiari sardinia. We loved all the places we visited, but did not do the ship excursions as they were too expensive, we just did our own thing. ...

Review of Royal Carribean

Discover the Golden Age of Bethlehem

Advantages: An area filled with beauty, history and is very laid back
Disadvantages: None

you get involved with that scene you have a good look at the architecture, monuments and parks in the area. Here are some suggestions: The Moisteiro dos Jeronimos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Mosteiro dos Jeronimos or Hieronymite Monastery in Belem is by far one of the most interesting buildings in Lisbon. The monastery and Torre de Belem watchtower are unique memorial's to Portugal's Golden Age which followed after the Voyages of Discovery. Lisbon was badly hit by the 1755 earthquake but these magnificent buildings managed to survive and didn't topple into dust. This is one fabulous building and for some reason reminds me of the Parliament Building in Budapest probably because of the Gothic aspects to both buildings even though they were built at different times. The long side of the monastery now overlooks lawns and gardens ...
