Tickets are on sale for anyone wanting one. For the away leg 4th April.

 

50 points

£26

Reckon it'll go on sale without loyalty points?

 

3200 tickets sent to us, they expect to get more as well and it will drop down in points. Obviously depends on demand and that looks very high as to how far it will go down.

Is th

We're booked up with flights but just wondering where is it best to stay in Lisbon for the pre-match gathering and a good night out after the game?

 

Heard that Bairro Alto is decent place?

 

Yes. It has one street full of trannies. Avoid it.

 

 

Oh great!

 

Any suggestions then?

 

Bairro Alto has lots of streets.

 

One of them is filled with trannies.

 

Avoid only that one.

 

It's called Rua Benfica.

Would it be a good area to stay or is there somewhere better?

 

How about Rossio?

 

Rossio is a big, noisy square with some decent cafes and a few hole-in-the-wall places selling ginjinha, a sort of cherry liqueur (possibly the world's most localized drinking phenomenon). It's pretty central and I used to stay there sometimes when I was working in Lisbon.

 

Nightlife is up the hill in the Bairro Alto, brilliant district of narrow streets and many bars, or down on the docks (Docas) where there's less atmosphere but things go on later.

For those of you who have the opportunity to stay longer in Portugal, enjoy and visit at least Sintra and Cascais. Locations are very close to Lisbon (30 minutes by train) and beyond Lisbon you may know two of the most beautiful surroundings.

 

Both places have a good night life with excellent bars.

 

Sintra is a place that can join beach and mountains. There's a mountain full of mysticism with a castle (Moorish Castle) and Palace (Palácio da Pena) in the woods.

In the center is another Palace (Palácio da Vila), parks and many historic buildings worth checking out. Also in the center is that the bars are.

 

Cascais is primarily a maritime town with good bars in both the center and the marina.

Hey,

 

one more Benfica supporter here.

 

First of all, let me say that it is a real pleasure to play with you for europa league.

 

I hope Benfica wins because we need (and deserve) an europe competition.

 

I'm looking for flights and hostels. My plan is to get in Newcaste Wed and leave Friday to Ediburgh.

 

Do you have any hostel recommendation? And more important, where are the best places to eat :D ?

theres a few hostels and cheaper end hotels but be craeful, it's a thin line between ok and in with the tramps.

 

food wise, stowell street is good value (chinese), a few pubs will offer decent enough food if on a budget and the general chat section has a "newcastle resteraunt" thread if you want to spend a little more.
