Overrated city. It used to be a beautiful and authentic city but like many other European cities, its personality is gone.
Packed with tourists all year long, old and authentic businesses closed due to the locals running away from the city because of crazy expensive prices for tourists and expect to find a tourist trap restaurant, souvenir and cafe on every corner, especially downtown and wherever you have a touristic attraction.
Lisbon is now a destination hub for bachelor parties, so expect to find a dirty and smelly city, especially in the morning.
Be careful when using Uber services, especially if you are a woman. Uber services like most of the tourist traps businesses are now being running by suspicious Indians and moroccans and many problems with quality, safety and robbery are rising.
Locals run away from it. The city is empty of locals and you will only find nomads, expats and the poor and old that cannot afford to run away.
One of the most expensive European cities right now to live, to eat, to visit. Have fun!

Hi there! I am thinking about visit Portugal in April or May. Good time to visit? After reading a couple of your blogs I am thinking about splitting my 10 days between Lisbon, Sintra and Porto. Do you make custom itineraries or know travel agents to use. I would love a mixture of site seeing and hitting many of the locations you suggested all while experiencing the culture and especially the food!

We recently visited Lisbon. First time ever and had a marvellous long weekend. We found the ‘Jam Bar’ at the top of the hill in Biarro Alto. What a great evening with travellers from all around the globe!

Thanks for the great post on Lisbon. Amazing!!!

I liked the Belem Tower built in a Manueline style by the architect.

Last year when I had visited with my friends we spend over time on wandering streets and tram28.

This year we were planning to rock again in Lisbon.

Hello, thank you indeed for the valuable tips. I know how it is difficult to surmise all the information and bear it in mind all the time you travel. I traveled to Lisbon and Lagos recently and pretty much only thing I was doing is collecting information and shooting the video. I knew when I come back I am going to share with others all the knowledge I obtained during the trip. I found Portugal as a very peaceful country with people one can be proud of. In my observations I wanted to make an important emphasis on the local people. In fact they inspired me. How well-coming, kind and easy-going they are. I wish every country had such citizens indeed! If you do not mind I can leave the link here. I am not doing it for money, I do not monetarise the video. I just want to reach out to those who are about to travel to Lisbon and be informed as much as I can deliver. Sorry, I did not mean to take advantage of your wonderful article. This is the link
