Before you go to Lisbon

Lisbon Travel Blog › entry 1 of 4 › view all entries

I had a fantastic weekend in Lisbon in september 2007. I want to give you some advice and I hope that you enjoy reading my Blog and that you can use it if you go to Lisbon. The pictures will give you impression of the fantastic atmosphere in Lisbon. It certainly hasn't the character of a city. However this city has 2 miljon inhabitants. During my visit to Lisbon's different quarters, I had the feeling of being in a small village. I'll write something about each quarter that I visited.

Before you go to Lisbon

September 7, 2007

DO book a hotel in the centre. Baixa, Bairro Alto or Alfama are good quarters to stay.

If you hate walking and walking stairs, DON't go!

3 Days is enough to see the most. DON't go longer. You have to walk a lot and will be very tired.

If you DON't like shops, stay home. You see shops everywhere and I think it's great!

If you like to eat early, DON't go! The Portugese eat around 3 pm and between 9 and 11 pm. If you go around 2 or 8, you certainly have a table.

Duas Nacoes Residence Lisbon

This Hotel is not the Best ever. But it's very central and near every sort of trnasportation and a few hot spots.

There are rooms with shower and toilet and rooms with shared bathroom.

The Breakfast is ok for an portugese breakfast. Just a croissant, marmelade, coffee, juice and tea.
