Guns & Butter: Lisbon Travel Guide (Updated Edition)

Lisbon Travel Guide is part of the #NoCollusion, No Albania for TPOL from 2018 where I broke my 100 country count mark. See the World Map for where Iā€™ve been.

Note: This guide has been updated to reflect the Still The Best Trip Report from August 2023.


TPOLā€™s Guns & ButterĀ Travel Guide is the best way to see as much as you can in as little time as possible. Hereā€™s how it works ā€“Ā A trip is composed of two factors: Labor And Lazy. The opportunity cost (what is given up) for relaxing and being Lazy is gained by being adventurous in the form of Labor and vice versa. The guide includes inefficient activities i.e., tourist traps that should be avoided and aspirational activities that are worth doing but may be impossible to see given the constraints of time and resources.


Oh, oh
I’m falling so I’m taking my time on my ride

The ride is over. I tried to do as much as I could in Lisbon, but there wasn’t enough time, and there wasn’t enough energy after going around the world and back again. Maybe this Travel Guide will be updated in the future but for now, it’s a decent start.

Getting ThereĀ 

2018: Why not take Ryanair if the price is right? It’s much better than plenty of other discount carriers (seeĀ Whatā€™s the Worst Discount Carrier?)

2023: I was stuck in Cabo Verde but rescued by Cabo Verde Airlines (see Rescued! Cabo Verde Airlines: Sal to Lisbon).

Staying HereĀ 

I would skip the Radisson Lisbon.

That’s not downtown I’m looking at.

2023: Stay at the Hyatt Regency (seeĀ Hyatt Regency Lisbon: Perfect Stop in Lisbon for One Night (Or Two)).

See This, Don’t Do ThatĀ 

I did many Tourist Things. Say yes to Barrio Alto view. Invalid request error occurred.
Say pass on the train up.

You can make your own decision on where to eat and drink on your rise and descent of the beautiful city.

Don’t Stop The PartyĀ 

What’s a travel guide without a party (see Pop In Pub Crawl: Lisbon, Portugal)?

TPOL’s Tip: Java rooftop was the first stop. It is located at PraƧa Dom LuĆ­s I 30, 1200-152 Lisboa, Portugal.

TPOL’s Tip: Espumantaria de Cais was the bar on the ‘Pink Street. It is located at R. Nova do Carvalho 39, 1200-291 Lisboa, Portugal.

Get Me HomeĀ 

A quick stop in the Priority Pass Lounge and a faster flight on TAP to Madrid, and it was finally time to return to Puerto Rico, flying Iberia of course.
