What is the best transportation and route from the airport to Hotel Mundial located on Rua Dom Duarte 4?

Because of illness, we have had to cancel our trip to Portugal and cruise from Lisbon to Venice. Royal Caribbean no longer has that particular cruise next year, but rather a 12 day cruise. Can someone tell me if there are other cruise lines (European) that might begin or end their cruises in Lisbon. Thank you.

I want to fly directly from Lisbon to Morocco (Casablanca or Marrakech). Are there any reasonably priced flights? I can only find Air Maroc, and it is quite expensive.

I've been hunting around trying to find details on buses from Lisbon to Evora. I've found the rede express website but its all in Portugese and does not seem to say where the buses leave from.

I have found one reference to ARCO DO CEGO and another for Terminal Sete Rios

Can anyone advise. Thanks

how about hotel fenix?
is it ok?
thanks,

Dear,

I am Your frequent traveler and I now have one question. Me and my wife
want to go to Lisbon for 4 nights. That not will be a problem but Serbian
citizens must have a visa for entry in Portugal.

Portugal embassy in Belgrade have the request that HOTEL (which we choose)
must sent reservation form on email of embassy (portugalcons@sbb.co.yu) as
attacment. Only that kind of reservation they will accept. THats the reason why we need hotel ZENIT telephone or e-mail.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Ognjen and Tatjana.

Hi everyone. We'll be in Lisbon for a long weekend at the end of April and would like some recommendations on places to eat. The only catch is that we're vegetarians. I have read about a few places that are exclusively vegetarian. But I'd also like to know if there are other places (Indian and many asian restaurants usually have plenty of vegetarian fare) people would recommend. Thanks!

My wife and I are staying three nights in Lisbon and I plan to book an apartment in one of these historic areas. I'd like to experience Old World charms but not be kept up all night by the nightlife. I suppose it depends entirely on what street I am on but I'm a little worried about the late night cafes in Barrio Alto.

Are Alfama and Chiado quieter? Also, Frommers warns of muggers in Alfama and Barrio Alto. Is there any merit to this warning? I'm from a big city so I know how to be careful but still, I'd like to avoid any seedy areas.

The ideal situation for me is to find a quiet residential street full of old grannies and kids, close to small shops, bakeries and cafes. I'd also like to be close to the major sights. We are not big partiers but having a late night coffee and pastries in an outdoor cafe would be nice.

I will be arriving to Lisbon on the 25th of April, which I hear is a National Holiday. Will museums/other sites, etc. be open that day? are there any special events I should know about?

thank in advance.

hi! my friend and i are planning to visit lisbon in spring..we were wondering whether is it safe for just 2 teenage girls to travel around portugal just by ourselves. we dont speak portugese or spanish, and we are afraid we might be target of crime since we are foreigners

What is the easiest option for a family of five to get from the airport to the city centre (Baixa) at 8.30pm?

I understand that taxis will only take four passengers (therefore we will need two, alternatively our lettings agency say they will pick us up for 50 euros, which seems extortionate for what looks like a short drive.

Also, What is a resonable price to pay for a taxi?

I will be coming to Lisbon at the end of february and would like a hotel near the nightlife,which I believe is mostly situated in Barrio Alto- can anyone suggest a reasonably priced hotel in this area?

Thanks for your help!

I have been successful using the Viamichelin site to get driving directions except for the directions from the Lisbon airport to Hotel Alif, at Campo Pequeno 51. (I know which bus to take but not how to actually drive there). Arriving on friday afternoon after overnight flights....Can anyone help?

We are planning to go to Lisbon and spend three days at the end of May. I am looking for cental location hotel and narrowed my search down to three:
1. Britania
2. Dom Concalo Hotel and Spa
3. Corinthia Lisboa Hotel
Which hotel, in your opinion, is the best, or suggest something else in ~$150-200 price range.
Also, what is the average air and ocean temperature during this time of the year, since we are planning to spend few days at Algavre?
Thank you in advance

Hi, I'm going to be in Lisbon for several days later in the month and was thinking that I'd like to travel out to one of the beaches one day. Any suggestions on somewhere nice to go and the best way to get there by public transport. Also any random interesting ideas of things to see or do in Lisbon itself would be cool! Thanks.

We will be in Lisbon for 4 nights, how far is the Algarve from Lisbon and how far is Porto ? Thanks

Can anyone tell me if this area is safe? I'm looking at an apartment rental for three single women on Rua Mãe de Água. It looks as if it's convenient to shops and restaraunts, but I'm wondering if it's safe at night for walking.

thanks.

i heard that rede expresso provides lisbon to seville services on weekdays. ive tried to go to its website but there's no english version (or did i missed it?), so its quite hard to understand. can anyone help me find out what the ticket price for a person? thanks

Hi all! We are a big group of 15 persons going Lisbon this summer. We only have 1 full day in Lisbon. I was hoping for any advice or tips to what to do, see and eat in this city. What are the good restaurants to try really good local cuisine(8 to 12 Euros) in the central part of Lisbon? Can anyone suggest a good 2 to 3 star hotel in the center? What is the best area to be located in at Lisbon (for walking, restaurants and shops)?

Many thanks!

I want to visit Cabo da Roca from Sintra . I found the page of bus service in that area (http://www.scotturb.com/ptindex.htm) but it's only in Portuguese.((: I finally found timetable for line 403 but can't understand it. Here it is:

http://www.scotturb.com/inverno2007/403.jpg

Can somebody please translate it to me ? Which bus goes to Cabo da Roca ?
Does Nao vao ao Cabo da Roca mean that the bus doesn't go to Cabo da Roca ?
Are there minutes writen on the right bottom part of the picture so that the ride from Sintra to Cabo da Roca takes 40 minutes ?

Thanks.

I am going to be in Lisbon unexpectedly (impromptu travel is so exciting!) this week and will be there on Friday (Jan 25). I want to know how comfortable it would be for a woman to go out for a drink, or dancing on her own in Lisbon? And I would love any suggestions of good places to go (age range mid to late 20s). I am not fussy about what type of music is played and I don't know where I am staying yet so can't specify location. But it is a Friday night and I will want to be out! Still, it needs to feel safe for a female traveller who is not interested in spending the whole night fending off men who misunderstand my intentions, but wants to feel comfortable and potentially meet new people in a friendly place, and who lacks Portuguese language skills. Any thoughts???

Is everything in Lisbon closed on Good Friday? Presumeably shops & museums are closed, but what about cafes & restaurants. Is there anything to do that day?
Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks

I'm visiting Lisbon next month and I have difficulties in making itinerary for 6 full days. Everything is closed on Mondays and I have no idea what to visit on that day . Only Oceanario is opened on that day in Parque das Nacoes, but Pavilhão do Conhecimento is closed in that area.

I planned 1 day in Sintra,1 day in Cascais, 1 day in Belem and other 3 days in Lisbon.

Any suggestions, please ?
