Lisbon, Portugal
Portugal surprised me with great food, drink specials, and a lively party life, plus there are multiple beaches nearby. Of course, great people influenced this trip, and the people I met were absolutely amazing.
Areas:
Chiado
Chiado is located between the neighborhoods of Bairro Alto and Baixa Pombalina, Chiado offers bundles of culture. It’s here that you’ll find various museums, theatres and snippets of history.
Baixa
Baixa is a walkable city, and bring comfortable shoes and hit the streets for food, bars, and things to see. Baixa is one of the best places in Lisbon for a late afternoon drink.
Stays:
Avenida Palace
Avenida Place adjacent to the Restauradores Metro Station and a 3-minute walk from the historic Rossio Square. Freebies include parking and a breakfast buffet. Afternoon tea is available in a regal lounge with a high glass ceiling. There's also a genteel, English-style bar and a modern fitness room.
Goodmorning Solo Traveller
Goodmorning Solo Traveller Hostel is a cheaper alternative very close to Avenida Palace. You can meet awesome people, have waffles for breakfast, get lost in Lisbon’s tiny alleys, take a bike ride to Belém, explore Sintra, or go to the beach.
Restaurants:
Honest Greens
Honest Greens is a great space, that serves ethically sourced, organic whenever possible, unprocessed and free of artificial preservatives, additives or refined sugars foods.
El Paso Cantina Mexicana y Cocktail Bar
El Paso serves fajitas, tacos, burritos, etc. They also have a variety of drinks. If you are looking for flavor, this is the place for you!
Activities:
Bar Hopping
Bar hopping is a must here. The bars are close together within walking distance. The streets are full of great people having a wonderful time. There are drink specials along the way and free shots!
Time Out Portugal
This place is a food court and alcoholic drinks are available. At night there is live music and when I was there people surrounded the band that was playing and danced the night away. Total strangers dancing to the sound of good energy!
Gyms:
Fitness Hut
There are several Fitness Huts around Lisbon. You can buy a day pass for $10 on the app for 2 hours of access. There are also classes but I am not sure if the pass includes the class.
Desserts:
Scoop and Dough
Their brioche-style donuts are handcrafted so that the end result is a combination of lightness and flavor, using only plant-based ingredients. There are several flavors of doughnuts. They also have vegan ice cream.
Il Gelatone Se'
There are various flavors of ice cream and milkshakes. There is also a cocktail bar! The people are kind and the service is great.
Drinks:
Anywhere and Everywhere
