A handy, pocket-sized guide to the best of Lisbon, plus daytrips
further afield. Set over seven hills by the mighty Rio Tejo, Lisbon
mixes 17th-century grandeur with an easygoing lifestyle, suburban
food and wine venues, and a vibrant contemporary art and music
scene. Skip the lines for Portuguese tarts, dodge the Tram 28
crowds and instead step inside this deeply historic and
fast-booming city. Sip uma bicas (espresso) and share pataniscas
(cod fritters) with the Lisboetas at neighborhood cafes and tascas,
wander the pavements past exquisitely tiled facades, and party
until dawn in dark fado dens, sun-kissed rooftop bars and pulsing
dockside nightclubs. Lisbon Pocket Precincts is your curated guide
to the city's best cultural, shopping, eating and drinking
experiences, and its most accessible and budget-friendly choices.
Each precinct takes in one or more of Lisbon's traditional
districts with insider reviews of both outstanding attractions and
hidden gems, as well as easy-to-use maps. A selection of field
trips also encourages you to venture further afield, to the natural
beauty of Sintra and Comporta, as well as the beautiful northern
city of Porto. Slip this guide into your pocket and head off on
your Lisbon adventure, experiencing all that this fascinating city
has to offer.
