Format:Paperback
We've used many encounter guides and find them perfect for short weekend trips. The larger books mean you spend more time reading than doing. If you're after something which tells you the key things and provides some useful and interesting information, this is the book for you. The only criticism is that the Lonely Planet maps can be a bit disappointing, BUT if you've got a free map from your hotel or tourist office, you'll be sorted. Also, the book lists some brilliant bars. Even if you're not into drinking, some of these places are worth checking out.

Have been buying Lonely Planet guides for years, and we all know that the quality of the maps is far from decent, especially in this kind of weekend away mini travel guide. But in this case I must say that on top of the quality of the map, the information was inaccurate. Come on LP, spend a bit more time and efforts on decent maps! Also, I am not quite sure what "food in a budget" is anymore! Went to a few of the recommended places listed as such, and the bill came to 20 euros per person in most of them, without starter. ALthough not expensive, I would not list it as budget at all! Also, we had an awful experience (food, staff, price) at some of the most recommended portuguese restaurants (Cervejaria Trindade), so ignore all the notes on that place and save your money. Also, by reading the book you may think that Lisbon is quite dodgy in some areas, which we entirely disagree with...probably just as any other major european city you gotta be cautious in the usual situations (nightime etc). OPening times for some places were also inaccurate.
Overall, you would be better off not buying this kind of guide, doing some research online in forums etc and acquiring a map once in Lisbon. Frommer's guide was similar, although their maps are always better than LP's.

A well written and useful guide. It has answered most of my questions and it offers good advice on making the most of a visit to a city I have not been to before.

It's all good
The book was in very good condition as described. I haven't been on my trip yet so cannot comment on the quality of the travel advice. The service was excellent.

If I hear retro-wrapping once more, I am going to scream!
The author of this book seems to be obsessed with sardine can wrappers, as they appear on at least five places in the book. Read more

Disappointing LP Guide
What an incredibly disappointing guide! It is so irritatingly written - gratingly "hip" and "cool" throughout. Read more

Useful guide
I found this an excellent book. It differed from the format that I'm used to in the Lonely Planet. We did 3 of the city walks that were well worth doing. Read more

I thought this was a great book to take around Lisbon
Very good guide book, great ideas for restraunts and to see other things around Lisbon also. Maps I found were also excellent.
