What a lovely city, full of historic buildings and gardens. We explored a new place everyday, mostly on foot. The few times we needed to use the Metro, it was easy to navigate. If Portuguese isn't your language, it's ok. Lisbon is very accommodating!

It felt like the safest capital city I've ever visited. There are numerous different regions of the city with their own characteristics - from the medieval centre, to the wide open area on the waterfront, to areas similar to the backstreets of Paris

Lisbon is an amazing, international city. You can get away with English (and French, it seems) almost everywhere, though Portuguese is appreciated. It feels safer than, e.g. Madrid, and is filled with culture, fashion, and beautiful people. Walkable.

My second visit to Lisbon and I saw a whole different side with the hilly parts, the castle and trying the fish dishes which were most excellent. You must take a day trip to Sintra but plan it well. Migrant residents who set up takeaways - thank you!

Be prepared to walk a lot of hills in Lisbon. You can hire a tuk tuk but that would get very expensive to do daily. We enjoyed walking everywhere so it's perfect for active people. If you have limited mobility, it may not be the best place for you.

It's a deeply interesting city, with millenia of history and stuff to do. Take in a fado show, explore some old churches, and eat some great food. Bring good walking shoes as the roads and sidewalks are very rough stone, and the whole city is hilly.

Lisbon is a beautiful and vibrant city with lots to see and do. The quirky transport system makes it fun just getting around. However over-tourism is a problem - impossibly long queues for some attractions and i did have my purse stolen from my bag

Lisbon is a fantastic city with so much to offer. The locals are so friendly giving everything a wonderful atmosphere. Something to see and do for every taste. The only things that lets Lisbon down are the fag ends and broken glass on the squares.
"Very helpful staff. Gave us good information about how to get around and appreciated us with a welcome gift and a parting gift because we stayed for a longer period of time. Rooftop bar is a nice place to go to have a drink and get some good views of the city. Rooms are simple but spacious. Appreciated our stay here. "
"I have stayed at the Star and its next door neighbor, the Meliá. Star is a little less upscale but less expensive too. You can walk to it from the airport…downhill. They have a shuttle (shared with Meliá) as well. It goes every 15 minutes. I ate there as well and the menu and buffets were both very good."
