The attitude of the company afterwards was that everything must have been OK if we did not contact them at the time. When booking apartments generally, you should ask up front what the procedures are if anything goes wrong. Pictures are sometimes misleading as well, and I would advise you to have a good look at the place before parting with your cash.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20633 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20610
Amazing buffet with vegetarian versions of traditional Portuguese food. It is like being at home with a very talented Portuguese friend!

They have a wall full of awards and press clippings. Moby has been there and praised the place, as have several other very well-known artists.

It can get crowded, especially on weekends.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20610 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20553 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20553 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20478 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20478 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20477 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20477 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20476 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20476 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20165 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20165 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19752
A great place for a romantic dinner. We had a wonderful meal, the staff were so friendly and with Fredo playing the guitar, what more could you ask for?]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19752 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19525
We tried a Old Lisbon tour and it was very nice. Then the guy suggested us to have dinner in the Atira-te ao Rio restaurant in the south side of Lisbon near the bridge and we went on the boat and had a great meal and came back on the boat to Alcantara. If you don't take the tour, you should try the restaurant and you can go by boat as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19525 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19379 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19379 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19350 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19350 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19348
If you arrive at the airport a ticket on the airport shuttle bus costs a flat fare of €3 and is valid for a day's travel on public transport. The Viva Viagem card is not accepted on the airport bus though.

As the shuttle is fairly infrequent and can get very crowded (though fun for the running commentary) if you haven't much luggage I would seriously consider, especially for your return trip, catching an ordinary bus to just outside the airport (check the route map) or take the metro to Olivais on the red route and it's a pleasant 20 minute walk to the terminal.

In fact I would also recommend taking a metro to a random station, getting out and exploring. The metro stations are invariably clean, modern, efficient and uniquely decorated with tiles and murals.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19348 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19347
The entrance can be tricky to find as it isn't obvious - through wide entrance gates opposite Rua de Sao Marcal and 100m straight on.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19347 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18170 Other tours including trams are not on/off but 1-2 hours in duration. €17
Most city bus/tram tours including Aerobus (airport to city) for 48 hours costs 30€.
Save a lot of time and money and buy at the aairport (at the post office) as many passes are not on buses and only at metro stations.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18170 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18168 Close to Oriente Metro/station and Parque dos Nacoes.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18168 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18105 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18105 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18093
Together they constitute a representative set of ocean environments. And I will never forget how cute a baby sea otter can be.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18093
