... but every blister was worth it!!!

I have visited Lisbon twice so far: in 1977 on a short visit during my Interrail tour through Europe and again in 2005.

When I was there in 1977, I found this city to be quite friendly, with nice sights, not so hectic - just enjoyable! It was wonderful to see, that that feeling of Lisbon was still similar to that 25 years ago, although quite a few things have changed!

We had a wonderful VT meeting on our day of arrival and got some real nice tips first hand (Catarina, those pasteis were d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!!!!), so our stay in Lisbon really was a fantastic one!!!

    just saw your TRAM tip on front page of VT. Love it. We're renting an old trolley for our house tour in Sept. in my village. These old trams, trolleys,& horse and carriages all add so much color to a town. I'd love to take a ride on yours in Lisbon.

    I am going to Lisbon in June and will check the trams out. Melbourne has a very good tram service for public transport. Infact some of the new ones are smooth as trains. But they have restored the old ones and use them for tourists around the city.

    This is true - trains to Sintra can also be caught from the Entrecampos station, which is near several major hotels and the Metro. Most guidebooks still mention Rossio - that's the advantage of sites like this!
