Product Description

Rising on seven hills overlooking the River Tejo and dotted with monuments testifying to Portugal’s former maritime glory, Lisbon is a sightseeing delight and a partier’s mecca. Written by locals, this award-winning guide profiles the coffeehouses of the Chiado, the bars and restaurants of the Bairro Alto, the clubs of the Docas and Santa Apolónia, down into the city’s deepest African and Brazilian dives and out to the finest beaches of the Caparica Coast. Special sections cover gay and lesbian life, sports and fitness, children’s activities, and more. This edition features new sidebars and chapter introductions, a new culture chapter, and rechecked listings.

Hip and Helpful5
We cancelled our Christmas trip to Buenos Aires at the last minute due to the rioting there and we had 2 days to come up with another plan. We went through the Time Out city guides (as they have been terrific for previous trips to Naples, Edinburgh and Venice)and Lisbon seemed like the perfect place for a 4 day trip out of New York City. We immediately got to work using this guide to pick the hotel and create a simple and groovy 4 day itinerary of museums, restaurants and sights. The guide was so easy to use, it has well detailed maps and all the described places are given clear map references. Unlike the case with many other guide's hotel reviews, the hotel we picked was exactly as they described it.
The guide is also great if you enjoy exploring the newer and more modern parts of European cities (the Guggenheim isn't the only modern architecture worth seeing on the Iberian Penninsuala). We visited the former site of the Expo 98 and it was fascinating and exciting with many examples of world class architecture.
The gay and lesbian section was also very accurate and insightful.
I think these city guides suit openminded and adventurous travellers who are willing to visit places in a slightly left of center way and mix with all different types of people.

Indispensable!5
This new edition came out just in time for our July 2001 trip to Lisbon, and we found it to be the best guidebook out of the few we purchased. The city maps are great, the recommendations are right on, and the trips out of town section is a great bonus. This book was a great resource to find beyond the tourist track activities, sights and restaurants, with honest opinions.

A great plus is that the book is small enough to easily slip into a travel bag and tote with you around town. Bravo!
