Product Description

Ideal for business and leisure, the Lisbon CityPack is succinct with all the practical information you need. The guide has been completely revamped with new content design and layout. There are four main sections: Essential..., By Area, Where to Stay and Need to Know. Lisbon has been broken up into colour-coded districts, with the colour-coding cross-referenced throughout each section. Essential...starts with the Top 25 sights plus a locator map, then essential information to get the most of a short break in the city. By Area takes you through the sights of the city, district by district, with local shopping, entertainment and restaurant listings. Where to Stay picks the best hotels to suit your budget, with web addresses listed where available. Need to Know contains all the basics for a smooth-running trip. Each district within the city has a two-page, colour-coded locator map with sights listed.

Practical tourist guide to Lisbon
This city map & mini guide is well produced, on sturdy,water-resistant laminated paper in a very convenient size.Printing is clear and the street index is easy to follow. On the reverse side there is a well set out guide to the top sights,places to eat out, shopping & entertainment and, most importantly,an extremely helpful summary of key travel information.A diagrammatic map of the metro,tram,funicular & airport bus systems is also included.A considerable amount of thought has gone into the production of this publication and it is highly recommended.

Everything you need from a travel guide
I currently live in Lisbon so I use this guide quite.
Most importantly for a travel guide, it contains no factual innacuracies (or none that I've found yet).
It contains all the information you might possibly need, from transport to places, costs, opening times, maps, and a brief historical/contextual information. It's all presented really well, in a way that is easy to read and browse. You can easily find what you want in 30 seconds, or spend longer reading up on something if you wish.
The pictures are great, the pull out map is excellent and waterproof (Lisbon can be very wet from November to February), and I couldn't possibly ask for anything more from a city guide.
