Lisbon Lisbon Crime
Posted: Sun November 1, 2009 07:58 PM UTC
We were considering visiting Lisbon (for the first time) during an upcoming trip to Europe. After reading about the rampant crime against tourists in Lisbon in the Frommer's guide, we are considering visiting Barcelona instead. The Frommer's guide mentions violence against tourists in Lisbon, in addition to the usual pick pocketing.

Is Lisbon more dangerous for tourists than other cities, like Barcelona?

Lisbon Easy Dinner and Left Luggage
Posted: Mon October 26, 2009 08:15 AM UTC
Not exactly a connection there, I confess, but...

Need a nice cafe somewhere between Praca Comercia and Estacion Apolina to relax for a few hours before leaving from Apolina at 2230. Easy on the ears and pleasant non screaming conversation appreciated. Suggestions most welcome

Also, and very important, does the Est. Apolina have left luggage or storage locker facilities. I need to dump bags there around 0730 in the morn and retrieve them before that 2230 train

Thanks folks

Lisbon Train journey from Lisbon to Madrid
Posted: Fri October 23, 2009 09:21 AM UTC
Hi All,

I'll be traveling to Lisbon with my family at the end of November. We wish to go to Madrid after our visit to Lisbon. I found a night train from Lisbon to Madrid named "Lusitania", but the web site don't have on line booking for internation tickets.

I'll be pleased if any one can help me reach an agent of CP where I can book my ticket and get it when I arrive in Lisbon.

Best Regards from Turkey

Lisbon SL Benfica
Posted: Mon October 12, 2009 07:54 AM UTC
SL Benfica host a Europa league football match against Everton FC on 22 October 2009.

I will be driving up from Carvoeiro on the day and would like some advice on where is the best place to park the car. As it is likely I will take the opportunity to go into Lisbon city centre are there any car parks where the car can be safely parked? Would I be best leaving the car in the city centre and getting the Metro to Colégio Militar/Luz?

Is there much to do in the vicinity of the stadium to encourage me to go early on the day or are there any "safe" bars for a drink beforehand?

Sintra Sintra/ Cascais/ Estoril
Posted: Sun October 4, 2009 01:57 PM UTC
Hi!

I would like to know if somebody has bought at Rossio Station a combine Bus+Train ticket for 1 day (price: 12 Euros) to go from Lisbon to Sintra and Cascais. I want to visit Sintra for 1 day and this is my planning:

- Train from Rossio to Sintra (1,70 €)
- From Sintra Station there is a bus No. 434 (4,50 € go and return) to go up to Da Pena Palace. I visit the Palace.
- I go down or take the bus No. 434 to Mouros Castle (Is it worth to visit it?)
- I keep on going down or by bus No. 434 to the National Palace. I take some photos of it because I'm not interested in visiting inside.
- I go on walking up to Quinta Regaleira and visit it.
- From Regaleira to Sintra Station and here take the bus No. 403 to go to Cabo de Rouca (which is the price?). I take some photos and take again bus No. 403 to Cascais (Is it valid the same ticket or I have to buy another one?)
- I visit Cascais and going for a walk I arrive at Estoril.
- Return train from Estoril to Cais do Sodré at Lisbon (price?)

Does anybody know if this combine ticket (12 Euros) include trains and those buses (403 y 434) I want to use ?

I know it would be better to spend more time but I only have 1 day to do the whole trip.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Lisbon Identify the Black Lighthouse
Posted: Tue September 29, 2009 06:06 PM UTC
I photographed this lighthouse in 1964 on the river Tagus when we went across on a ferry to dinner - don't know which side of the river. I am unable to determine what lighthouse it is.

Does anyone know what the name of this lighthouse is, and does it still exist?

Lisbon Where/when to buy train tickets Lisbon to Evora
Posted: Sun September 27, 2009 08:53 PM UTC
I am planning to take the train from Lisbon (Entrecampos) to Evora in October, roundtrip. Can I safely reserve and buy them when I get to Portugal or must I buy on the web from over here (USA). Don't know if they fill up, and I know you must reserve for the IC trains. Thank you for your help!

Lisbon Overnight train (Lisbon-Madrid) when should I buy tickets?
Posted: Sun September 27, 2009 06:46 PM UTC
Hi folks,

So I'll be leaving in few weeks for the honeymoon and wanted to see if anyone out there had any recent answers (I tried searching forums, but all of the answers were old). Basically, should I book our overnight train tickets from Lisbon-Madrid via the internet (686.00 for a Granclass cabin for 2 via Eurorailways) or get them as soon as I arrive in Lisbon (arrive on 10/12 and leaving for Spain on 10/20). Not sure if there is a price difference, but if there are significant savings, I would love to know.

Thanks!

Belém Marble hand in the wall of Mosteiro dos Jeronimos
Posted: Sun September 27, 2009 12:41 AM UTC
Hi, everybody!
While I visited Mosteiro dos Jeronimos in Belem I saw people (they were tourists from Japan actually) touching the hand in the wall. This hand is a part of a marble wall decoration. And it is located at the entrance hall near the grave of Vasco da Gama. I stepped closer to check this hand. It was polished like thousand of people are touching it every day.
Does anyone know what is this hand? Why everybody are trying to touch it?
I didn't see the same decoration on the other wall or anywhere else in this place.
I tried to find information in internet but didn't find any.

Lisbon Moving from one terminal to another in Lisbon.
Posted: Wed September 23, 2009 07:51 AM UTC
Hello all.
I have booked our trip to Madeira in December!!! The plane will land in Lisbon at terminal one, and we depart to Madeira in Terminal 2. We have 45 minutes, and I guess it must be enough time. Is it "easy to use" the Lisbon airport?

Thank you.

Lisbon Am coming over for the Everton v Benfica game on 22nd October
Posted: Tue September 22, 2009 10:59 PM UTC
thinking of staying in the Oasis Mansion Hostel in 24 R. de Santa Catarina, Lisbon 1200. Is this a good place to be for the bars etc and is it fairly safe to walk from here I checked out Google Streetmaps and the roads around look really scruffy with graffiti everywhere. What do you think? and is there anywhere nearby where I can leave my car cheaply?

Cheers

I will be in Lison at the end of September and am thinking about visiting Sevilla for a day. Overall, what's the best way to get to Spain?

Is there an affordable way to get there by train? How do I purchase the ticket and where is the train station in Lisbon? Or is driving a rental car a better idea? Thanks in advance.

Lisbon Please help with 3 day itinerary
Posted: Thu August 27, 2009 08:05 PM UTC
Hello:
I've been a VT site reader for many years but have never posted a question. Portugal has me stumped. There are so many places we'd love to see and not enough time. My husband and I arrive Lisbon from Madrid by train at 7:40 am on September 30. From there, we plan to take a train to Sintra then return to Lisbon in the afternoon. Tour Lisbon. Next day, we were planning to rent a car and drive to Obidos, Nazare, Batalha, Alcobaca and end in Coimbra for overnight. We'd love to have "leitao" for dinner in or near Coimbra. Return the car in Coimbra and take the train back to Lisbon the next day. Or do the reverse and take the train straight to Coimbra and drive back to Lisbon for the last day.

However, I have been reading horror stories of some car rental companies and am hesitant to rent now. I thought of the trains and/or buses to get around but it would be too hard with baggage unless there was a baggage storage location at each place.

If we do rent a car, can someone please recommend a reliable agency and would
it be better to pick up in Lisbon or Coimbra?

I look forward to your expert advices.

Sintra Bus/Train Travel Help
Posted: Tue August 25, 2009 01:30 AM UTC
Going to Portugal for the first time as an adult (went every summer as a kid to be with family) for my honeymoon! Anyways, excited but looking for help. Is it possible to do the following route with public transportation (bus or train are fine) or are we better off renting a car?

We are staying in my family's house in Sintra and want to do the following:
Sintra>Obidos>Coimbra>sidetrip to visit family in Chipar di Cima (I think we've got this covered)>Porto

Any suggestions or tips are much appreciated! I am psyched to go back after all these years. Would it be better to rent a car? The idea was that once in Porto we would rent a car and drive to Gouveia to visit my dad's family and then just meander back to Lisbon and drop the car off at the airport there. Are we better off just renting a car the whole way? I remember gas prices being pretty atrocious as a child and can only imagine it's worse now.

Cheers!
