Product Description

Lisbon's once fusty, if charming, image has had a massive facelift over the past decade, though much remains to be done to preserve the city's heritage. In the more recent past, there have been other changes too. Thanks to the long-awaited arrival of cheap flights, but also to cruise ships and a booming conference business, Lisbon recently overtook the Algarve in tourist visitor numbers. Locals are keen to welcome more. Euro 2004 was the latest in a series of big events proving their talent for hospitality and - surprising to many lisboetas themselves - organisation. This guide brings you bang up to date with the changes, while helping you find those corners of the city unaffected by them.
