I lived in Portugal for most of my life and the more I travel, the more I realize that it is a great country to visit. Having lived in the outskirts (Oeiras), I didn't give Lisbon the attention it deserves, mainly because it was always there and I could visit it anytime I wanted to. Now that I live abroad, I am starting to value this beautiful city more. I will slowly build these pages as I go back on a regular basis.
Just like Rome, Lisbon is built on seven hills, which gives it a very special charm with many steep, narrow streets and very characteristic neighborhoods like Alfama, Bairro Alto or Mouraria.
There really is very much to explore, but due to these geographical features, it can be tiring, but it is well worth it.
There is an endless list of things to see/do in Lisbon and there are some very special places, some right in the center, that are not always very easy to run into if you don't know them. One is the "Casa do Alentejo" (see picture and tip), other like the "S. Domingos" church that survived the 1755 earthquake.
- Pros:Atmosphere, great food, architecture
- Cons:Traffic, very warm in the summer
- In a nutshell:Great place to visit that is also quite underrated

Fantastic Lisbon page, Ricardo! Seems like I could spend a long time enjoying this city! Some amazing photos here too.
O rossio conta com uma das praças mais bonitas da cidade.As pessoas passam por aqui todos os dias com pressa para irem.Trabalhar e raremente reparam na beleza que as rodeia.
Rossio has got one of themost beatiful squares in the city.people pass here rushing to work and hardly take time to look around :)
tenho muito saudade de lisboa...
Thanks! Nice and very useful tips!
Great page with lots of good info. Thinking of making a combo Lisboa and surroundings / Porto / Algarve.
Ricardo! You have a fantastic page here! Going to Lisbon tomorrow, and I've found so many useful tips! Thanks a lot!! /Henrik
Ypu have an another good page on Lisbon here. Great tips and photos. Bora
I am completely in love with your country, specially with Lisboa, so coming across your pictures was indeed a delight! Cheers! Polyana
I have read about Gambrinus restaurant a lot and I am going to try with my boyfriend next month when we are celebrating 1st year together. Will let you how was it!
Thanks for you tip, since I am a crazy coffee drinker, its very useful to know the local coffee customs. In addition, it would be even more better if you write also how to pronounce these names.
