Lisbon's gentle pace and almost provincial feeling belie its position as one of Europe's most cosmopolitan cities. The Rough Guide opens this startling and eccentric cityscape to the reader, showing the traditional life of the city's historic neighbourhoods, and reviews the latest bars and night-spots. It also gives information on the nearby beaches of Cascais and the Sintra coastline, amongst the finest in Portugal. Also included are full accommodation and restaurant listings for every pocket;tips on bargain markets and budget eateries and reviews of luxury hotels and meals worth splashing out on.
