Lisbon - Capital City On A Human Scale
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by BNibbles

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!

...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 ... Read review

Lovely Lisbon
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by MALU

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 ... Read review

A long weekend in Lisbon
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by bagoproverbial

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 ...

Lisbon - vibrant and relaxing
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by John1958

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. Lisbon ... Read review

A wonderful city.
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by DashOfMooo

Advantages: Picturesque city full of character. Wonderful architecture.
Disadvantages: Traffic, street peddlers.

...of the age of discovery, Lisbon has as you might expect its fair share of grandieuse architecture dating to the 16th and 17th Centuries. Add to this, a wealthy centre of Catholicism, and you have perhaps one of the finest old cities in the World. Below follows a rough guide as to where to go in Lisbon. Flight from the UK with British Airways can be found from about £150 upwards during the holiday season. None of the budget airlines visit as yet ... Read review

Lisbon, like Rome...the city of 7 hills
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by Hawkmistress

Advantages: beautiful, lots of monuments and museums
Disadvantages: traffic is a bit difficult

Lisbon, my Lisbon... My hometown, my world. With beautiful gradens, statues, monuments, it has everything that you could hope for in a town. Traffic is a bit bad, but there's always the subway that'll get you to Downtown Lisbon, Malls, etc To go to the museums, hop on a bus or a trolley, and after a bumpy ride you'll get to your destination. By the river Tagus, or Tejo in Portuguese, you'll be face to face with Belem Tower, from where our ships ... Read review

My holiday in Lisbon and around Portugal
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by Jules1983

Advantages: Beautiful views, very special atmosphere, nice places to see
Disadvantages: In the night time it is cold as there is no central heating

...He is Portuguese and knows Lisbon (Lisboa in Portuguese) well. With him I had a chance to see Lisbon from inside. We stayed in a city called Setubal, which is close to the capital. But of course I wanted to see Lisbon. Most of the evenings we spent in Docks, where pubs, nightclubs and restaurants are abundant. It is funny, but most often we went to my boyfriends favourite place, an Irish pub, which offers live music, Guinness plus all the things ... Read review

Weekend break in Lisbon
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by sunstar11

Advantages: Beautiful city. Very relaxing
Disadvantages: Maybe not as close as other European cities.

A weekend break in Lisbon is full of good food, beautiful atmosphere and wonderful wine. I would definitely recommend Lisbon as a weekend break. GO offer cheap flights from Stansted airport to Lisbon. We stayed in the Baixa the old part of the city - beautiful. The people were very friendly and warm. The Baixa has great atmosphere and from here navigation around the capital is very easy with trams and buses close buy. I felt very safe walking around ... Read review

Please go!
Review of Lisbon (Portugal) by skorph

Advantages: Interest points, Helpfull people, Nightlife, Safe place to travel to
Disadvantages: Traffic, pollution

Lisbon is a great city, it combines the narrow streets and houses with centurys with modern architecture, without shocking with each other. You will feel at home here, everyone talks at least english and spanish, and if they don't, they'll try to communicate with you anyway! There are apartments for renting just for tourists, from 1 to 30 days in typical Neighborwoods like Alfama and Bairro Alto. If you want to visit some art expositions there is ... Read review
