You can find it easily in the way down to the subway station before the first crossroad, on the right side you’ll see it very easily. Inside this (small) mall you can find a supermarket, restaurants and some shops, Pizza Hut, takeaways health food shop, laundry/drycleaners, etc. The supermarket is open everyday, Mondays to Saturdays from 9.00 till 22.00 and on Sundays from 9.00 to 21.00. The prices in the supermarket are good and the same you can find in the other CONTINENTE supermarkets . To find other bigger supermarkets “CONTINENTE”, you’ve got to go to “COLOMBO” or “VASCO DA GAMA” Shopping Malls, referred to in the item “Shopping” of this document. There is also one in “CASCAIS SHOPPING”, near Cascais. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 3/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Supermarkets Besides "CONTINENTE", there are two other supermarkets near the apartment: “Pingo Doce” Take R. Amilcar Cabral to the opposite direction of the subway (when you leave the door, turn left), afterwards take R. Agostinho Neto till a big Avenue called “Av. Maria Helena Vieira da Silva”. Cross this avenue and you’ll see the supermarket. It’s a better supermarket than Modelo Bonjour. “Lidl” This is a German supermarket located inside the football stadium of Alavalade, near the subway station of Campo Grande (the one you take when going to the apartment). When you leave the subway station to the side of the stadium, you’ll see the supermarket. It’s worth a visit because of its very good prices and the many products that you can’t find in other supermarkets. Banks There are four banks near the apartment. They are located, two in the end of the street “R. Manuel Marques“ and the other one half way down that street. There is also another bank in the ground floor of the Campo Grande subway station. Telephones and Wifi There are 7 public telephones nearby. For most of them you must buy a card first, in any “stationary store”, to make a call. Some of them work with coins. You can find one inside the Shopping Mall (card) and one on the other side of the street, near the Shopping Mall (card). If you go up the street from the apartment (R. Amilcar Cabral) turn first right, you’ll see a blue box with two telephones, one card operated and the other coin operated. In the street of the banks - R. Manuel Marques - you’ll find another two phones (card and coin). Near the subway station there is another pair and inside the station there are more. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 4/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal You can easily find free wifi in the main subway stations. Campo Grande, near the apartment, is one of them. Restaurants There are several budget and medium priced restaurants around. This is a rough guide to the cost of a meal: (Prices in Euro) Budget: Mid-range: Expensive: 5,00 to 7,50 10,00 to 22,50 25,00 plus If you only want a place to eat something or bring at home we can recommend “Recanto do Pantanal” shown below. If you want a good restaurant to eat we suggest that you take the subway and go downtown to “Casa do Alentejo”. It will take you about 25 minutes (because you must change of line), but it’s worth the trip. “Casa do Alentejo” R. Portas de Sº Antão, 58 1150-268 Lisboa Telf. 21 356 92 31 Open everyday, including weekends. Lunch 12 – 3 pm and dinner 7 pm – 10 pm. This is a restaurant belonging to Alentejo’s house, a house that represents Alentejo in Lisbon. It’s worth going there not only by the food but also because of the house itself. It seems you are, suddenly, in Morocco: very big and old house, very well decorated and with lots of rooms that seems a Morocco house. Very good food with typical Portuguese dishes, mainly from Alentejo. It was a quiet restaurant some years ago, because it was not very known, even among Portuguese people. Now it’s already very known and not so quiet. Mid-range restaurant. Subway – Restauradores Very near Restauradores and Rossio. When you leave the subway, facing Rossio, take R. do Jardim do Regedor on your left side, a very short street. In the end of this street you’ll see a Western Union agent (big yellow panel). Next to it is the “Casa do Alentejo” door. “Continente Bom dia” Shopping Mall (near the apartment) With two restaurants inside and so nearby you are sure never to go hungry! “Recanto do Pantanal”, a Brazilian restaurant. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 5/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Located in front of the supermarket. Select what you want and pay at the till. You can eat in or take away. We have already been there several times and we think it’s worth a visit. The other restaurant is located near the entrance of the Shopping Mall, on the left hand side. On the right you have “Pizza Hut”. Another restaurant is: “Churrasqueira do Campo Grande” Campo Grande nº 402/10 1700 Lisboa 21 757 08 25 Medium priced restaurant About 10 minutes walk from the apartment. It’s in front of the subway station but the entrance is from Campo Grande garden side. The information we have about this restaurant is not very good, concerning the kindness of the people working there. There is another restaurant near the subway station called: “Dourado“ Budget to mid range priced restaurant. It may be useful if you are in a hurry or are watching the pennies! There’s another small restaurant near the Travel Agency called: “A Passagem” R. José Galhardo Budget restaurant/snack-bar. We don’t have any information about this place. Pharmacies There is a pharmacy near the Shopping Mall “Galerias Lambert”. On the other side of the street R. Manuel Marques, you can easily locate it, with its distinctive green cross, in R. Pedro Bandeira. (Near the telephone) Travel Agency Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 6/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal There is a travel agency called “Raitur” a bit further on, in the street running perpendicular to the one with the pharmacy on it, called R. José Galhardo. Convenience Shop Alameda das Linhas de Torres, 68 (about 10 minutes walk from the apartment) Find the main street “Alameda das Linhas de Torres”, turn right. After a few meters you will find number 68. Open 8 am till 2 am, everyday including weekends. Subway – Campo Grande What to see in Lisbon Introduction Here are some of our thoughts about what to see in Lisbon, just in a few words , because you can easily read a lot in all the guides about this city. You can be interested in visiting the: “Lisbon Meeting Point Welcome Center” This is a very nice place to visit, where you can rest, ask everything about Lisbon, get Lisbon maps, get all the cultural Lisbon activities, access the Internet (prices are a bit expensive) and much more. There is a restaurant, a gallery, cigar and grocery shops, handicraft, etc. It is located in “Terreiro do Paço”, in Baixa, near the river. Take the subway to “Baixa-Chiado” and walk a bit in the direction of the river. When you get to a big square, it is located on the right side, facing the river. Open between 9 am and 9 pm. Tel.: 21 031 27 00 e-mail: [email protected] www.atl-turismolisboa.pt “Lisbon’s Central Tourist Info Center” It’s located in Palácio Foz, Restauradores, subway Restauradores, open 9 am till 8 pm. Ask for their agenda: “Agenda mensal”. It lists all theatrical, musical, arts and children’s events for the month. You’d better off purchasing a 7 day “Passe Turistico” which enables one to use the subway, bus and trams. Bring your passport. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 7/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal It’s worth to get it. It can be purchased at Campo Grande or Rossio station. To check the prices go to “Public Transport”. Tourist Information Free Call – 800 296 296 You can use this number to call from this apartment and you can choose the language you wish. Castelo de S. Jorge A beautiful view to Lisbon and to the river. It’s worth a visit. Take the subway to Baixa-Chiado and take the tram nº 28 in R. da Conceição, till Miradouro de Santa Luzia, where you have a beautiful view to the river. Walk through the narrow streets to the castle. If you prefer to go directly to the castle, take the bus nº 37 in Praça da Figueira. If you enjoy Portuguese trams, you can take the tram nº 28 to see the old quarters of Lisbon. It passes very nice places and many tourists rnjoy the ride, just watch your wallet (pick pockets). Alfama and Bairro Alto The two old famous quarters of Lisbon. They are worth a visit. You can see very old houses and lots of small restaurants and bars. Belém Very nice place near the river and with some monuments worth visiting. Don’t forget to visit the very famous bakery, near Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, where “Pasteis de Belém” are sold. They are very good cookies, with lots of cream inside - they make the best in town. Parque das Nações The area where Expo 98 took place. It’ worth a visit. Very nice place to walk. You can still see some pavilions of Expo 98. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 8/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Located here also is one of the biggest aquariums in the world. It’s beautiful and worth a visit. There is also a brand new Shopping Center “Vasco da Gama”. Very modern, with lots of shops and a big supermarket “Continente”. Take the green line till Alameda and change to the red line. Get off at Oriente (the end). You have reached Parque da Nações. Alcântara There are several restaurants and bars near the river in this area. It’s nice to sit back and relax with a cool drink on a hot day watching the world go by Nice and cheap Lisbon trips Take the tram nº 28 in Baixa. It will take you through the nice and historic Lisbon blocks. For a good city ride by bus take nº 50 from Campo Grande to Algés. It takes you through many Lisbon suburbs. From Algés take tram E15 back to town. Take a day trip to the Jesus Statue (Cristo Rei) on the other side of the river. Subway to Cais do Sodré. Boat to the other side of the river, called Cacilhas. Bus nº 101 to Cristo Rei. The place and view are just stunning. Lisbon from a boat If you’d like to see Lisbon from the river, I suggest you take a boat trip on the “Cacilheiros” (because of the name of “Cacilhas”, one of the places you can visit). You can go either to Cacilhas, Porto Brandão, Trafaria, Barreiro, Alcochete, Montijo or Seixal, all on the other side of the river. Cachilhas is a good trip if you don’t have much time (shorter trip). Maybe have lunch in one of the multitude of restaurants in this quiet timeless place. Trafaria is a bit nicer if you have time To go to Cacilhas you must catch the boat at Praça do Comércio or Cais do Sodré (end of the subway line). To go to Trafaria you must catch it in Belém. During the high season (April – September) you can take a more interesting (and expensive!) boat trip in one of the many “tourist vessels”. To buy the tickets you must go to Terreiro do Paço Station. Here is an idea of what to expect –lifted from one of their brochures. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 9/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal “Those interested, may get off the boat in the morning and get on board in the afternoon at Parque das Nações, Terreiro do Paço and Belém, and visit the Oceanarium and the Coach’ and Navy Museums, at special prices. From April 1st to September 30th, daily departures from the Terreiro do Paço Station at 11.00 am and 15.00 pm, with stops at Parque das Nações (Expo 98 site) at 11.45 am and 15.45 pm and at Belém, at 13.00 and 17.00 pm. Prices: 14,96 Euro for adults, 11,97 Euro for Lisboa Card, ACP, Inatel and 7,48 Euro for children and retired people. Meal suppliment available, soft drinks and beer are included in the price as well as a presentation of the most important sights of the city. Special prices for families, groups and boat rentals, with or without meal suppliment.” Lisbon by train If you would like to see Lisbon from another angle, you can take the train that crosses the river over the bridge “Ponte 25 de Abil” – the old bridge similar to Golden Gate Bridge, in S. Francisco. Take the train in the subway station “Entre Campos” (Yellow line). There is a direct connection between the subway station and the train station. “Elevators” The Portuguese refer to these as elevators, but they are really Trams, you are permanently at an angle as you climb up steep routes. The ride is short, but the hill is steep and it’s an experience. There are three in Lisbon and I think they are worth a ride, at least one of them. “Elevador da Glória” It was inaugurated on October 24th, 1885. The lenght of the track is 265 meters and the gradient is 18%. Runs from the Calçada da Glória on the west side of the Praça dos Restauradores and takes you up to the Bairro Alto. Once you arrive at the top, walk to the right to a park. From this park you have an excellent view of the Baixa, the lower part of town and a good view of St. George’s Castle and the Alfama. “Elevador do Lavra” On the east side of Praça dos Restauradores is the Elevador do Lavra. It was inaugurated on April 19th, 1884. It was designed as a rack railway driven by water displacement. On January 3rd, 1910, a plan for electrification was submitted to the municipal authorities. About 837 000 passengers travel by the elevator annually. The length of track is 188 meters, the gradient is 17% and each carriage weighs 19 tons. This elevator takes you up to an area of the city called Anjos. There is another small park here – the Jardim do Torel. This park provides you with a magnificent view of the Baixa and the Bairro Alto. “Elevador da Bica” Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 10/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal It was inaugurated on June 28th, 1892. The carriages on this funicular are built in the form of three-step stairways, like Floibanen in Bergen, Norway. This elevator is not very known but it will be useful for you if you are near Cais do Sodré and want to go to Bairro Alto. It begins at R. de S. Paulo and ends at Largo do Calhariz. You are now in Bairro Alto. Fado houses Fado is the most traditional song of Lisbon. In this section you will find the names of some of the fado houses in the city. The great majority of them asks for a fee, called “minimum consumption”, indicated below each name. The fado houses offer, meals, fado moments, sung and played by professional artists. I don’t know, personally, any of these houses. I took them from another page about Lisbon. Prices may well have changed. If you are just curious about how Fado sounds you can listen to it for free, during the day and on the street. Actually there is a disc shop in “Baixa” called “Discoteca Amália” that plays fado CD’s during the whole day. It’s located in R. do Ouro 270, near Rossio.

If you have a car, there are many you can visit! Without a car Cascais and Estoril Nice places to take a day off. Take the green line of the subway to the end stop, Cais do Sodré. Here you take the train to Estoril/Cascais. Nice trip, near the coast. It will take about one hour. If you want a very good restaurant in Cascais you can go to APEADEIRO. It’s a mid range restaurant, with a big variety of fresh fish. It is located near Cidadela fortress, not faraway from the center, the cost and the beach of Cascais. Address: Av. Vasco da Gama, 252 2750-509 Cascais Tel 214 832 731 Go to the garden in front of MUSEU DO MAR and take the Av. Vasco da Gama from there, in the opposite side of the museum. If you would like to visit a very big and famous shopping center called “Cascais Shopping”, you must take a taxi from Cascais, which will cost you about 5,00 Euro. You can also take a bus from “SCOTTURB”, numbers 406, 417 or 418. “Guincho” Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 12/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal You can go to a very nice place called “Guincho” (described in the item “With a car”) with bikes. You can borrow bikes in Cascais, in front of the “Cidadela” fortress, near “Marina de Cascais”. They are free (you must leave your passport and write your address in Portugal). There is a special trail that you take to get a beautiful beach. There are three beaches in Guincho. The trip is well worthwhile into this wild and spectacular region. The only problem is that, this is a very windy area, pack a light sweater. You also can reach this place by bus from “Scotturb”, numbers 405 and 415. Sintra A very nice village, with beautiful views, gardens and palaces to visit. Take a day to go there and investigate all there is to see. Take the subway, yellow and blue lines till Restauradores. There you can find the Railway Station where the train leaves for Sintra, which is the last stop on the line. Takes an hour to get there. You can see the village and its monuments and wander in the lovely gardens, but don’t forget to take the tourist bus to visit the monuments in the mountains: “Castelo dos Mouros” and “Palácio da Pena”. It’s a must. Other places There is a big transport center near the apartment (5 minutes), right in front of the subway station. So, if you have time and would like to leave the city for a day or two, this is the best way to get the most out of your visit to Portugal. There are buses to lots of places, all of them located in the North of Lisbon. I would suggest three nice fisherman villages, with good beaches: Ericeira, Peniche and Nazaré. Ericeira is the nearest one and Nazaré is the most faraway from Lisbon. You simply purchase the ticket from the driver on the bus. Some other places that you can visit: Torres Vedras, Malveira, Sta. Cruz, Cadaval, Mafra, Malveira, Fátima, Leiria, Santarém, Alcobaça, Leiria, Tomar, Caldas da Raínha, Rio Maior, etc. “SCOTTURB” This is a bus company that runs routes to Cascais, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, etc. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 13/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Check their site for timetables, etc: www.scotturb.com You can reach very nice places (starting from Cascais), described in the item “What to see with a car”, with these buses: Guincho, Cabo da Roca, Colares, Sintra, Praia Grande, Azenhas do Mar, Praia do Magoito, etc. With a car Arrábida Natural Park It’s a very nice Natural Park with mountains and beautiful views to the sea, located in the South of Lisbon, near Setúbal. Take a whole day to get there and back to make the most of this spectacular journey. Go to the other side of the river through “Ponte Vasco da Gama”, otherwise you’ll be stuck in the traffic jams for a long time. Take the “2ª Circular”, direction North Highway - Autoestrada do Norte A1” and Ponte Vasco da Gama. You’ll see signs to the bridge. Go till Setúbal. Visit the town, especially the area near the river. There are two very good restaurants here, specializing in grilled fish. One near the football stadium of Bonfim. You’ll need to ask directions. As far as we remember, it doesn’t have any sign outside saying it’s a restaurant. It’s such a huge place that everybody knows where it is. You can’t miss seeing the fish is grilled in the middle of the room. The other restaurant is located near the bullfighting ring/stadium. It’s a very small restaurant called “Verde e Branco”. In Setúbal it’s worth a visit to the castle. It’s outside the center, head in the direction of Sesimbra and on the way to Arrábida. There’s a beautiful view from up there, to Setúbal, Troia and Arrábida. You have two options: Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 14/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Visit the top of “Serra da Arrábida” (Arrábida mountain) first: take the road on the right just a few kilometers after Setúbal, that lead to a road almost parallel to the road near the coast, but that is in the top of the mountain. You’ve got to come back to Setúbal by the coast, if you want to see the beaches. Visit the beaches first: The best beach, in our opinion, is Portinho da Arrábida. If you don’t have much time just head to the mountain first and spend some time on this beach later, which is near the end of the road you take to go up. After Portinho da Arrábida go to Sesimbra, where you can see the beach, the village and the castle. Nice places to visit and good view from the castle. Then take the road to Cabo Espichel, where you’ll find a beautiful sightseeing and a very old monument. . The scenery is rough and ruggard but also very beautiful. If you would like to see more beaches you can visit, in the way back to Lisbon, “Praia do Meco” - in the north of Cabo Espichel – a famous escape in Summer for the nudists. You also can visit Lagoa de Albufeira. The beaches from Fonte da Telha to Costa da Caparica aren’t, in our opinion, particularly nice. Costa da Caparica is very crowded in the summer. (sardines spring to mind!) Cabo da Roca - Ericeira - Mafra You can go to Cascais, either by the “Marginal” (road near the coast), or by the highway. After Cascais you should see Guincho, a huge beautiful windy beach, famous for surfing. If it’s time for a meal, you have two options in this area. Besides several extremely good restaurants near Guincho beach (the only problem is the extremely high bill ),here are two very good restaurants much better priced for what you get. One is the first restaurant you see when you leave Guincho, direction Malveira da Serra. After you leave the beach, you take a tree lined road and you’ll see a restaurant on the left hand side: “O Púcaro“ Estrada do Guincho, nº 13 Foz do Guincho - 2750 Cascais Tel. 21 487 04 97 Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 15/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal After the meal, if you feel you can drive, leave Malveira da Serra head in the direction of “Cabo da Roca”, onto a nice road on the hill, with a beautiful sightseeing along the coast. In this area there are also two restaurants that are cheaper than the ones already mentioned. They are located in a place called “Areia”. When you are driving from Guincho to Malveira da Serra, just as the beach disappears, you will see a cross road indicating “Areia” to the right. In this village, which is very near, there are two cheap restaurants called “O Correio” and “Carloto”. “O Correio” Estrada da Areia, 1406 Areia . 2750 Cascais Tel. 21 486 90 39 Closed on Mondays This is a basic restaurant and not catered towards tourists as the others are. Near this restaurant there is also another good one. “Carloto” Estrada da Areia 2750 Cascais Tel. 21 486 90 14 Closed on Mondays When you see the sign on the right, leave the main road and go to “Cabo da Roca”, the most occidental point in Europe. Nice view and it’s worth a visit. Leave direction Colares and then take direction “Praia das Maçãs”. Turn left before that beach and visit “Praia Grande”. After visiting both beaches go on north and visit a place called “Azenhas do Mar”. A nice place to see but with no beach. Although, you can go down the stairs and dip in the water. If you have time visit the beaches of S. Julião and Lizandro. End your trip in Ericeira, a very nice village with beaches and interesting places to visit. If you feel like taking a drive inland and impressive monuments then you should visit the monastery at Mafra. Fátima Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 16/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal As many of our guests like to visit Fátima, we can suggest a nice and cheap place to stay there for one or more nights. “A Casa dos Capuchinhos” is a hotel, belonging to a religious organization called “Ordem dos Frades Menores Capuchinhos” that has small hotels in different places of Portugal. The hotel is located very near the Fátima’s Sanctuary, about 250 m, it has 50 rooms with bathroom and they supply good meals at a very good price. The rooms are simple and clean and the food is good and in generous quantity. Prices – May 2005 1 night with breakfast included – 15 € per person One complete meal – 10 € Address: Avenida Beato Nuno, 405, Fátima Telephone: 249 530 215 Email: [email protected] Website where you can easily locate the hotel (unfortunately Portuguese): http://www.difusorabiblica.com/casafat/hospedagem.htm in Shopping and restaurants in Lisbon COLOMBO Shopping Mall If you like shopping or if you want to save yourself money at the better priced large supermarkets, you must go to Colombo, the largest Shopping Mall in Portugal and Spain and the second largest in Europe. There you’ll find plenty of Portuguese and international shops and “Continente”, a large supermarket. Here’s some of the most important shops you can find there: C & A; Marks & Spencer; FNAC; WORTEN; VOBIS; Toy’s r us; AKI; Plenty of banks; Post Office; 10 screen movie complex; Plenty of restaurants; A leisure center - the best one in Europe, with bowling, a roller coaster, FunKarts, virtual reality games, etc. Opening hours Diversion: 12.00 - 1.00 am Restaurants: 10.00 - 24.00 Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 17/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Shops 10.00 - 24.00 Movies 13.00 - 0.30 am Very big shops, like Continente: 9.00 to 13.00 on Sundays and holidays. To go there, take the subway, yellow line, to Marquês de Pombal, where you must change to the blue line, direction Pontinha. Get off at Colégio Militar, where there’s a direct connection to the Shopping Mall. You also can take the bus number 3 from Campo Grande “Vasco da Gama” Shopping Mall Beautiful and brand new Shopping Mall in Parque das Nações. Smaller than Colombo, but very nice. More or less with the same shops you can find in Colombo, also with the big supermarket “Continente”. Baixa You also can find lots of shops in the commercial part of Lisbon, the area between Rossio and Praça do Comércio, near Tagus river. To go there take the subway, yellow line and blue line direction BaixaChiado. Leave in this station and you are in the middle of the shops.

CARRIS Tel. 21 361 30 00 Tel. 21 361 30 78 - General information - Public relations Taxis Last updated June 2007 Take care with the Portuguese taxis. Most of the times they will try to cheat you. As soon as you get in, check: If the meter is visible. If not ask for it or leave the cab. There should be a set charge already on the meter, depending on the time of day (this is called “bandeirada”) 3,25 - 6.00 am till 09.00 pmfrom Monday till Friday. 2,50 - 09.00 pm till 6.00 am and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. (the trip will be 20% more expensive) Don’t believe them too much if they say they don’t know where the place is you want to go. It helps if you have a map visible so the taxi driver can’t drive you round in circles without you knowing. If you have luggage transported on the roof-rack or in the boot you must pay extra, besides what is shown, 1,60. But they must write it in the meter, which, most of the times they don’t do, so that they can keep the money for themselves. If the service was hired by telephone, mobile-phone or radio-taxi center, you’ve got to pay 0,80 extra. If you feel you paid too much, or if you had any problem with them, ask for a receipt, which should show: Registration number of the vehicle, printed or stamped. Where the journey began and ended, date, time and fare for the service rendered, with IVA (VAT) included. Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 30/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Tax number.

We had one guest that was robbed in the tram nº 28 (tram frequented mainly by tourists) Be on your guard and take the usual precautions. Be especially careful in Baixa and Marquês de Pombal just like buses, trams and subway. Usually, in buses, trams and subway, a gang will operate like this: They can be between 2 and 10 men. They are waiting at the stops just like you. They choose the crowded buses and trams and they are the last ones to get inside. They tend to be middle aged, casually dressed and are spread throughout the Carriage. Inside the bus they choose the victim. One of them picks the pocket and pass it immediately to another. Afterwards, once you realize something has been stolen, it’s impossible to know who it was. Worst trams: nº 15 and nº 28 Worst areas of Lisbon: Fontes Pereira de Melo (big avenue between Saldanha and Marquês de Pombal), mainly near Marquês de Pombal. Cais do Sodré (near the river) Avenida da República (big avenue between Entre Campos e Saldanha) Avenida da Liberdade (Marquês de Pombal – Restauradores) Rossio Internet You can send emails and surf the net in several places in Lisbon: Portugal Telecom Shops Small shops Cybercafes Park of the Nations – Pavilhão do Conhecimento (Knowledge Pavilion) Copyright©1999-2014 Fernando Costa 32/46 Flat Rental in Lisbon - Portugal Wifi in the main subway stations, restaurants, coffee shops. “Portugal Telecom Shops” These are good and cheap places to surf: 30 minutes – 1,5 Euro.
