Called here while on a 12 night Canary Islands Cruise, we were aboard the beautiful MSC Virtuosa. The port of Lisbon was a gateway to the fantastic city of Lisbon itself, and what a great day we had in the world's 2nd oldest city.
The local food and drink was absolutely excellent, and the well known custard tarts can only be described as outstanding.
To be honest they were miles apart from the ones we have tried here in the UK, and selection of beers and wines were very varied. The weather was excellent and was averaging a very warm 36c, this was at times too warm for me to be honest.
We found the old town to be very quaint with cobbled streets, cobbled pavements and pretty hilly. We came across the old lift/viewing tower which was very picturesque, the amount of people queuing to access it was horrendous, so did not use it this trip. We decided to do the climb up to the platform, great views but was a tad warm around the edges when we got there.
Would highly recommend a trip to this lovely city, we will definitely be returning soon.
