Lisbon - Donna Wheeler

Lisbon Pocket Precinctsis your curated guide to the city's best cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences.

Set over seven hills by the mighty Rio Tejo, Lisbon mixes 17th-century grandeur with an easygoing lifestyle, suburban food and wine venues, and a vibrant contemporary art and music scene. Skip the lines for Portuguese tarts, dodge the Tram 28 crowds and instead step inside this deeply historic and fast-booming city.

Divided into separate precincts, each section takes in one or more of Lisbon's traditional districts, listingthe best shops, restaurants, bars and sights to see in the area,with insider reviews of both outstanding attractions and hidden gems, as well as easy-to-use maps.

Lisbon Pocket Precincts also includes a selection of 'field trips' that encourages you to venture further afield, to the natural beauty of Sintra and Comporta, as well as the beautiful northern city of Porto.
