If you have the chance to do a walking tour you should - great way to get to know a place. Great little place to eat was Da Mae Vagabundo!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

There are good parts and bad parts to this city. Graffiti everywhere would be my pet peeve. Many parts of old Inner city are deserted and have been allowed to run down. Such a shame for many of the beautiful but neglected buildings and communities

5/5 - Excellent

Thomas

The most amazing part of Lisbon are the great historical sites and welcoming and friendly people. It’s a very safe place to be in.

4/5 - Good

Ross

If you love old buildings, narrow streets and alley ways with small family-owned and operated businesses and restaurants this is a great place.

5/5 - Excellent

Leave PLENTY of time at Lisbon airport to get through security, it took us 1/1-12 hrs to get through, they closed the gate for the flight in front of us and although we were already checked in wouldn’t let us through. 300€ each for flight next day.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller
