Title: Lisbon Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, January 20, 2020, 14:59:42 Off for a long weekend next month. Usual TEF visitors tips of places to see and do, bars, restaurants etc appreciated.

If possible get off the real Stadium of Light if Sporting are playing. Easy to get to on the metro. Title: Re: Lisbon Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, January 20, 2020, 15:31:14 The Old Town area by the railway station and port is a great place to wander through the tight streets with bars and eateries. There’s a good market, too. Stadium of Light is Benfica mate - Sporting play at the Jose Alvalade ;)...but in any case, definitely a good thing to do and relatively cheap compared to the UK. Saw Sporting play there a few years ago...got tickets from the Club on the morning of the game, no problem at all...If possible get off the real Stadium of Light if Sporting are playing.

Title: Re: Lisbon Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 14:08:24 Thanks guys,
I noticed that Sporting Lisbon are at home that weekend but I doubt the wife ever wants to go to football again after I took her to see Swindon away to Millwall on Boxing day a few years ago! We are staying in the old town, which looks like its going to have plenty of bars and restaurants to saunter around in. Never been to Portugal (apart from the Algarve on a stag which I don't count!) so looking forward to it. Title: Re: Lisbon Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 17:22:54 Never been to Lisbon but I do love Old Town areas in most parts of the world (that I've visited). I am a smidge jealous BO!
It's North-West Spain but if you get a chance (not this time but sometime) head to A Coruna. Beautiful port and if the weather is kind, you'll fall in love. Plenty of history and a nice medieval Old Town. Any way, enjoy Lisboa. While there if you can, ask for "Cerveja Coral, por favor!". Coral recently celebrated 50 years of production so there may be a few decent anniversary guest beers still available. The standard brew is pretty good though and cheaper than Sagres or Bock, usually. :pint: Title: Re: Lisbon Post by: THE FLASH on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, 10:31:32 Went there after the England Game last summer.
Lovely alleys and narrow streets. Wish i had spent more time there.

I wonder if they have it with cheese as we do sometimes? |
