Tile Museum Annoyances for tourists Review

Unless you are studying Portuguese tiles, or visiting Madre de Deus church, or having plenty of time, I think you could skip this museum.

It's interesting and well organized, but Lisbon is, for itself, a large tile museum, and standing so apart from everything...

However, don't misunderstand me: its a serious institution, and if you're a tile lover it may be your place.

The House of the setting sun Don't go to jail! Review

Look at the pictures:

It's centrally located.
It's an outstanding building.
It's not cheap... it's free.
Guests use to stay for long periods.
But... that's the last "hotel" I would recommend in Lisbon.

Why? - Because it is local jail

Ruins

The castle is a landmark in Lisbon, but you must be warned that most of its elements are no more than a ruin.

Great views over Lisbon, a few interesting details, tons of history, and... ruins, disguised by the trees and gardens.

Criteria

Carmo convent has a somewhat varied contents, suitable for an open space as it is now. I only don't understand the other criteria used in their selection.

No problem since you went there and entered, have a look - it's acceptable.

You're Lost

If you find yourself near the statue of Fernão de Magalhães, then you are in Praça do Chile, which means that, probably... you're lost. Not that the place has something against it, but because its out of the regular tourist circuits, though being visited by many locals, in search of the popular items and prices of the nearby commerce.

Well, since you are there, don't panic, there's no reason for that. If it is lunch time, good, you have Portugalia a few meters south, in Av. Almirante Reis. If not, and you don't mind shopping, just look around. If you are really lost and only want to leave, you have the Metro, or, why not, walk a little to the north and find Alameda, Areeiro, João XXI (remember, Pote - MY all time restaurant), Av Roma, Campo Pequeno... Wow! How I love to get lost sometimes!
