Not really, you guys seem to be well informed. The beer is stronger and cheaper as you may know by now. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/benfica-vs-newcastle-united-travel-advice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you coming from? Which station? Bairro Alto - Baixa-Chiado station (googled this one) Rossio Square - Rossio station You can use this to plan it / see the itinerary http://www.metrolisboa.pt/eng/ You can see where you have to change metro (if necessary), color of the lines, etc. It's really easy, I use it on a regular basis to go to college when trains aren't available.

If you need to use the toilet, walk in to one of the many cafés or fast-food restaurants. This is acceptable practice given that public toilets are few and far between. Portuguese beer is stronger (and cheaper) than the beer at home so make allowance for this." ;D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Apologies to anyone from Lisbon but it's the biggest shithole of all the European trips this season. Edit: Kharkiv was much better. You can't apologise then insult their city anyway, man! It's like saying "No offence, but >something purposefully and directly offensive<" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest L0W Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Apologies to anyone from Lisbon but it's the biggest shithole of all the European trips this season. Edit: Kharkiv was much better. May i ask you why? Because i never heard any tourist saying he had a bad time in Lisbon or Portugal for all that matters. But i guess you can't please everyone. About the game: Salvio is out.

Doctor Zaius Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Whats the atmosphere like over there anyone? Plenty of geordies kicking about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 He's wrong anyhow. It's fucking mint. Hungover to fuck but it's match day. Only got in from the docks area four hours ago. Also, there's loads of pushers trying to peddle coke and weed. Don't bother if you are that way inclined, it's all a rip off and just legal herbs and shite. If you are stopping tonight, head to Barrio Alto then if your still going down to the docks (about €6 taxi away). Beer is good, locals are friendly but watch your wallets as you can tell the dodgies a mile off. If you want a cheap prozzie, head to Rossio round the side streets.

Novocastrian Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Apologies to anyone from Lisbon but it's the biggest shithole of all the European trips this season. Edit: Kharkiv was much better. May i ask you why? Because i never heard any tourist saying he had a bad time in Lisbon or Portugal for all that matters. But i guess you can't please everyone. I'd been to Porto and thought it was very nice so looked forward to coming here. There was no one offering to sell me drugs on the street every 30 seconds or having to watch my pockets all the time there though. Lisbon is vey safe, much safer than most European capitals. Yes you need to take normal precautions but its a great place. The Portuguese are very friendly and love their football. I'm leaving the house now, couple of beers in Cascais and then train into Lisboa, hope to see some of you around, I'm wearing a no 10 Ben Arfa shirt and I've got a black and white Union Jack. Howay the Lads!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Class night yesterday, met up with old friends not seen for 16 years for dinner at their house in Cascais then back into Lisbon for more dbeers at Docas and Barrio Alto, didn't get in until 4.30am, sore head.
