                <description><![CDATA[These only go on sale of the day of travel and can sell out fast for weekends and holidays.  The ticket office opens at 6am. I went at 8am recently and all were already gone, so beware!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This place is wonderful - the staff can be snotty, and it's not cheap, but fascinating all the same. And it's just a couple of hundred yards up the hill from the Port Institute (also can be snotty) but cheap tasting of some great port wines.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Sintra is wonderful. If you have more time take the old tram from the terminus near the art gallery over to the coast - some good beaches there and a lovely run to them. Trams are infrequent, so plan!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Watch out for pickpockets - I know EVERYONE says this, but I used to live in Lisbon and I saw it happen time and time again on the 28 and 15 trams. - Especially by the ticket machines on the new 15s]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Originally a place for Alentejans to meet, this restaurant has a lovely Moorish courtyard. Go upstairs for a cheap beer, and have a nosey in the crumbling ballrooms, and at the great tiles in the restaurant. It looks private, but just go in from the street - a small door and some tiny stairs lead you into the courtyard. The restaurant is nothing special. It's located in a muddle of tat shops and fish restaurants with pushy waiters outside trying to tempt you in to their overpriced places.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Ruined church right in Chiado in Lisbon's centre. Wonderful, relaxing and quiet place to escape the heat. Great museum also inside with some weird and wonderful exhibits. In a nice shady square too. Go in early spring to get the jacarandas in bloom. Closed on Sundays (whereas most museums close on a Monday). You can get a look in if you go up the Elevador da Santa Justa - which also has fabulous views over Baixa.]]></description>
