We took a weekend "spa" vacation to Lisbon Portugal ans stayed at the Sheriton Spa Hotel near down town.
Lisbon felt like Barcelona, Athens and Belgium all rolled into one city. Since we only spent a few days there we didn't really get a true sense of the city and the people so it's not really fair for me to judge. That being said, I don't really have a reason to go back. IMO, there was nothing of real interest to see or do.
Day one it rained, and I mean rained hard. We walked around down town and got soaked.Tthe sidewalks are quite old and rocky which made walking tough (keep this in mind and wear good shoes if you go). We had some of the worst pizza ever at a sidewalk cafe' with a leaky tent out front. The beer was cold and cheap so all was not lost!
Next day we took a tour bus to see the sights. In total it lasted about 3 hrs and we saw most everything there was to see, which, is not a whole lot. The Coach Museum was probably the most interesting and is a "must visit".
