This is a fantastically useful guide book. For those who are bored of doing the typical tourist thing, this is perfect. The book describes the main districts of Lisbon and provides you with an easy way to get the most out of your stay in the city. Thanks to this book I crammed loads of fun things into my 4-day/3-night trip, including viewing art by the metro, eating dinner in a circus school restaurant, barhopping with the locals in Bairro Alto, finding the best spots for beautiful views over the city (the elevator and St George castle), relaxing on the beach at Cascais, watching some Fado music in Alfama, enjoying locally produced liquer and clubbing til the early hours. The book is really handy as it gives personal opinions, addresses & contact details and descriptions about the atmosphere, events, service & cost of all the places reviewed. The only criticism I have is that some of the photos do not fully show the true sense of awe and beauty you will get from being there in person – Lisbon is a must for any traveller and I am going back for more next summer!
