My Lisbon
"My Lisbon" is a selection of my favorite spots in Lisbon, organized by areas and themes. It does not intend to be a complete guide of Lisbon. Lisbon has hundreds of other places worth visiting and I felt very tempted to include many of them. But I left many things out, on one hand because I don't want this selection to be overwhelming, on the other hand because I believe that part of traveling should be left to chance and surprise.
I've always wanted to make an informal and personal guide to Lisbon and, now that I'm a «professional» host, I decided to make it happen. I've lived in this city all my life and I've been 'gathering' these favorite spots since I was 16 years old, which is when I started exploring the city by foot and by bicycle. Actually, even before becoming a professional host, I've found myself playing the host countless times, as I wandered around the city with hundreds of foreign friends and couchsurfers.
I wrote all the texts myself, in a very informal tone, as if it were spoken (and most pictures are taken from the web).
I hope some of these tips will enrich your trip to Lisbon. Now choose a sub-menu to find out which are my favorite spots in the city.
