About the book

Synopsis

Lisbon's once fusty, if charming, image has had a massive facelift over the past decade, though much remains to be done to preserve the city's heritage. Feature chapters by resident writers explain the city's fascinating history and culture, and everything it has to offer to the visitor. From haberdashers' shops to transvestite shows, the Time Out Lisbon city guide digs deep to reveal lesser-known facets of the city. Mini-features include Portugal's fraught relationship with its neighbour Spain, local fashion designers, bullfights and trips out of town, as well as the etiquette of coffee. Sun-seekers flock to Lisbon for its array of fantastic beaches within easy reach of the city; this guide tells you in unrivalled detail what they offer and how best to get there.
