"Lisbon" Lisbon by travelnut71

Lisbon Travel Guide: 5,119 reviews and 12,617 photos

Lisbon is a great place to visit. I actually enjoyed it more than Paris. It's easy and cheap to get around. They have a great subway system, clean, and efficient, although they close at about 12:30 am, but keep in mind, Lisbon is a small city so a cab ride won't cost you more than about $15 US. The interesting part is the old and new. There are new fancy malls, such as Colombo which is open until midnight every night, accessible by subway, only 10 minutes from downtown. They have a train that runs pretty late that goes along the Lisbon coast through little pretty villages, the train is efficient and not expensive but worth a try. Worth to see is the docks where all the nightlife is, called 'Docas' and also 'Bairro Alto', an old neighborhood with lots of nightlife and great restaurants! Here is also a picture in that area called 'Bica', enjoy!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Very cultural, great transportation system, dining, inexpensive
Cons:If you don't like cities and pollution, it's not for you.
In a nutshell:Charming and unforgettable

I could clearly hear the voice Amanda Rodriguez singing a "fado" when looking at your Lisboa' street picture.
