Publisher's Synopsis
Rising on seven hills overlooking the River Tejo and dotted with monuments testifying to Portugal's former maritime glory, Lisbon is a sightseeing delight and a partier's mecca. Written by locals, this award-winning guide profiles the coffeehouses of the Chiado, the bars and restaurants of the Bairro Alto, the clubs of the Docas and Santa Apolónia, down into the city's deepest African and Brazilian dives and out to the finest beaches of the Caparica Coast. Special sections cover gay and lesbian life, sports and fitness, children's activities, and more. This edition features new sidebars and chapter introductions, a new culture chapter, and rechecked listings.
