Thank you for your question! Away from ...Hi George! Thank you for your question! Away from the obvious Lisbon experiences of the Bairro Alto and Tram 28, I recommend hopping on the train. Take the train from Rossio Station to Sintra; a hilltop palace/castle and parkland area that affords great views across the countryside and even to the coast on a clear day. I would also suggest you spend a little time at Cascais and Estoril; both of which are on the line that leaves from Cais do Sodre station. Get off in Cascais and walk down the promenade to Estoril, stopping for a swim, some food and a drink or two along the way. You can then catch the train back from Estoril to Lisbon.<br /><br />In Lisbon itself, I highly recommend popping to the supermarket for a couple of beers or a bottle of wine and heading to one of the city's Miradouros which offer great views all over the city. They're great fun to find and are scattered across the city, so it gives you chance to see a lot of the more hidden parts of Lisbon (http://www.golisbon.com/sight-seeing/viewpoints.html).<br /><br />I hope you have a great time! Let us know how you get on in this fantastic city!<br /><br />MikeWMikeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733487372117242344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607723753740688988.post-87707620557512740592014-05-11T07:41:04.324-07:002014-05-11T07:41:04.324-07:00Hi Mike - I'm heading to Lisbon in a few weeks...Hi Mike - I'm heading to Lisbon in a few weeks - have you got any tips beyond the obvious things to see and do?<br />Cheers<br />George Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
