Lisbon has 2 Estadios. Benfica (red) and Sporting Lissabon (green). I Think the last is the Best. Benfica is near a shoppingmall. The biggest in Europe.

I lov ´lisboa.´ Ok, since we did not spend the day befor in 'Frankfurt', that did not happn, we took a plane from 'venic' to 'porto.' We arrivd at 'Porto' and had to wait so long for our luggag to come. We got out side and found out we had to take a train for 3 hours to 'lisbon.' Haha,&…

      To day it’s the day to explore Lisboa.  Our hotel is on the top of Avenida da Liberdade.   Avenida da Liberdade (Liberty Avenue) is an important avenue in central Lisbon, in Portugal. It is a 90 meter-wide boulevard with ten lanes divided by pedestrian pavement…

As I picked my place to go to this summer, I could not have chosen more right than Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon has everything in its small and pittoresque town that the world has to offer in all its greatness. When I arrived I was astonished by all it's beauty and opportunities, something I'm starting…

My second day was an eventful one! In Lisbon, they have the Statue of Cristo Rei (Christ the King) which was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil... In order to reach it you have to leave Lisbon alltogether, take a ferry to Almada, and catch the 101 bus al…

And we go out with a bang!Its probably the most well-known part of Lisbon, and we saved it for last. Belem, a neighborhood, a town really, west of Lisbon centre. We found all sorts of sights and attractions here. And we all went together, the whole family, to end this vacation - which has been abso…

I often do crazy weekend trips and my trip to Lisbon was no exception.   On Friday November 30, I headed out to Newark on Northwest and then caught a TAP Air Portugal Airbus 330 to Lisbon.   I arrived into Lisbon at 5:30 am and within 30 minutes, I was on bus route 44&nbs…

Another beautiful day in Portugal. I only wish I had been able to spend more time in this magical city. On my last day there I had a lot of ground to cover and yeah most of it was pretty touristy but I wanted to make sure I saw the Castelo and then head down to Belem to visit Jeronimos Monastary. I…

"Come on guys, it's my birthday and it's time to eat…" I yelled full of courage. Because my birthday is in the heart of summer, I usually celebrate it abroad. Not out of extravagance but simply because most times I'm on vacation. We were touring the west and south coast of Europe. It was an i…

Fado is Portugal’s folk music, the very 1st time I heard it was a song called 'Coisas Pequenas' by Madredeus. I am so angry at that time because my date stood me up, I was outside FNAC in Oporto in North Portugal and this song was playing, suddenly I feel relaxed and I listened closely. My a…

What I nice city with very friendly people, nice food and music. A city with a great history and a wonderfull nightlife. There's a lot to see and to do. Also i've been in Cascais and Estoril to spend some days at the beach.

The next morning it took awhile for us to all get going. I could sense that Ben was awake and bored and was being polite by letting us snooze a little longer. In my morning stupor I thought, 'wouldn't it be funny if he just turned the engine on and drove around the park with us to wake us all up!' …

In the summer of 2005, I stayed in Almada for 2 weeks. We rented an apartment from the parents of a colleague of mine. Every day we took the ferry (15 min) to get us to Lisbon. Lisbon is a really nice city to visit. The Portuguese are really friendly people. There was a festival in Castelo S. Jor…

I went to Portugal to learn a bit about the culture and the history of this great land. I started with Lisboa. I was quite impressed with the imcredible city of seven hills. It's old....really old. When it came under Roman rule in 205 B.C. is was already 1000 years old. So, It must have much to uncover, right?!

Early in the morning on july 4th, we drove to Schiphol airport. After 2 hours we were at Schiphol airport! Ready for our trip to Portugal!!!After 2 flights and a stop in Paris, we arrived in Lisbon. After checking in to The Lisbon Dreams Guesthouse (great place by the way), we walked around town a …
