    I will be in Lisbon next week for 4 days, first time visit. Appreciate any tips/recommendations for must see/go to places, restaurants, bars, shops etc.? Cheers.

      @Twistlock I was in Lisbon this weekend and I really wish I had some useful insight to add here, but it was a very messy stag weekend, we spent most of our time in the Bairro Alto area crawling from dingy bar to dingy bar. The castle looks extremely impressive as does the Elevador de Santa Justa which we saw but did not go up unfortunately. It has definitely moved up to number 1 on my European cities to visit under different circumstances (not 48 hours of drinking). Such a vibrant, beautiful city with seemingly so much to offer. Looking forward to seeing some updates of what you get up to!

          Beautifully city. Fortunately been there twice already.

              June is a beautiful time of year to visit - plenty of sun, not too hot. If you’re there on the 12th, you’re in for a treat. The festival of Santo Antonio is a night party/parade on the Avenida da Liberdade. Full of life and colour, the smell of fresh sardines being grilled by street vendors and restaurants fills the air. Been to a couple, so much fun.

              I found the red hop on/off sightseeing bus to be a great way to get around. Stops at pretty much all the tourist-y sights, and never had to wait too long for the next bus. The air conditioned bottom level provided relief from the sun, but I loved the open top.

              If you have the time, the easy one hour train to Cascais is totally worth it. Lovely place to walk around by the ocean, and the Boca do Inferno is terrifyingly beautiful. Highly recommend.

              Tarts anywhere (everywhere!) are delicious, but my favourite were from Pastéis de Belém. Secret recipe, the place can get busy but you’ll be happy you went. One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten was at a restaurant about 5 minutes walk from there, but I sadly can’t recall the name.

              There’s a really cool glove shop right by the elevator called Luvaria Ulisses. It’s tiny, really easy to miss. I’ve purchased a few pairs over the years and have loved them. Great quality. A Vida Portuguesa was another cool shop I recall having neat Portuguese-made items.

              Can’t help so much with restaurants/bars, it’s been a while and I remember locations not names. If you like seafood I definitely recommend trying the sardines, and if you see Dourada (sea bream) on a menu it’s champ.

              I love Portugal, and the people in Lisbon are awesome. Greetings like good day/evening/night (bom dia/boa tarde/boa noite) and thank you (obrigado) go a long way.

              Hope you have a blast!

                      Planning a trip here at the end of the IH party on the way back home. Appreciate any advice, tips, etc. Thinking 4-5 days to look around and eat.

                        Dennis, @goosehd, just saw this. Lisbon def worth a visit. Discovered a nice restaurant on our stop over heading for the Azores, Da Prata 52. Great food, friendly and fun staff, highly recommended.

                            Well this is going to be a hard few days:

                            We’ve just checked in to the hotel and are already smitten with the city from the drive in from the airport.

                            Random pictures and adventures to follow.
