Subway in Lisboa

Lisbon has a very comfortable and nice metropolitan (underground, subway). If you buy a ticket for 1 pass, do not throw it away as you should use the same ticket to quit a metro station (a usual thing for various metro systems in Europe but not for Moscow or St Petersburg, for example). Better buy a subway card to use the metro (eg. "7 Colinas", "Lisboa Viva" etc) as it's much cheaper than buying a ticket for each pass. Station titles are shown on display, so if you cannot hear - it's possible to see them.

A Small Guide to Lisbon

I live in Lisbon and love the city.

I have created A Small Guide to Lisbon to help people visiting Lisbon.

Enjoy. :)

Not recommended: Gambrinus Resturant

While Frommers called this place "one of the city's premier restaurants", I was also attracted to it because of the long bar where a solo traveler can eat dinner more comfortably than at a table.

The food was fine -- not great but fine. And the service was lacking, unhelpful and downright annoying. Given the high (relative) prices, I would look elsewhere.

The castle was awesome!

The museum has a very nice park which is a relaxing oasis just by the Campo Grande metro station. Also check out the exhibitions in the two pavillions.

Lisbon's main boulevard in the historic center where you will find all the top shops and from where you can easily get anywhere. Bairro Alto is just 2 minutes away with the Elevador da Glória. Baixa, Alfama and Chiado are within walking distance.

Its scenic qualities, hotels, shops, theatres and architecture turn it into an important tourist attraction of the city.
