Feels like traveling back in time as the tram itself is so old fashioned, but that is probably why the tram itself travels at an ideal speed for hanging out of the windows taking pictures. As Neil says, its better to walk back...” more...

    This is really handy as I'm off to Lisbon for a few days this weekend - what are the absolute essential places to visit in your opinion?

  • 5 April 2011

    Hello Sarah!
    There are so many things to see! You should definitely go to the Castle of Saint George!it is a great place to see a panoramic view of the city and also enjoy a historic place! Take a coffe at the Cafe POrtas do Sol, which has an amazing view over the river Tagus and the southern shore.
    If you have time go to Belém, to see the Church of the Hieronymus Monastery (i woldn't go to the cloisters as you have limited time) and taste the Pasteis de Belém (Antiga Confeitaria de Belém); they are to die for! Also I would take a boat Tour on the river; it takes an hour and is very relaxing and so you can do sightseeing a relaxing way!
    Have fun! I hope you enjoy the city!
    Hugs&Kisses

    Thank you so much for such a great list of things to do! What's the weather like right now? I can't wait - & I'll make sure I review everywhere in the city too!

  • 5 April 2011

    It is 15-24º.

    I personally use the "onion" system! Take a light jacket/cardigan with you because in the morning and evening it is still cold (15º) and when the sun is out you just "peel" your jacket off! Never forget sunglasses; lisbon is a very bright city with a lots of sun!

    Enjoy!
