4/5 Niaz N. 6 years ago on Google
I've
only
been
to
Lisbon
once,
and
I
stayed
here.
I
didn't
know
much
about
Lisbon
(and
honestly
I
still
don't),
but
I
assumed
the
location
wasn't
great.
The
location
was
actually
pretty
great.
Nearby
there
is
a
huge
roundabout
(with
a
statue
in
the
middle).
Take
one
of
the
exits
(headed
southeast)
to
go
on
a
long
road
which
eventually
takes
you
down
to
markets
and
plazas
and
the
beach.
You'll
see
some
similar
roundabouts
on
the
way.
There
is
hiking
nearby,
and
over
the
winter,
there
is
a
winter
fair
literally
a
two
minute
walk
away,
right
next
to
that
same
roundabout.
If
you
take
the
exit
up
the
hill
from
the
roundabout
(headed
northwest),
you
go
up
a
hill
around
5-10
blocks
to
reach
some
tall
buildings
including
a
shopping
mall.
The
shopping
mall
is
quite
nice,
and
at
the
top
you
can
get
a
great
view
of
the
city.
If
you
take
the
northeast
exit
from
the
roundabout,
you
can
see
some
of
the
older
structures
and
palaces
of
the
city,
which
look
really
nice.
If
you
take
the
southwest
exit
from
the
roundabout,
you
can
head
towards
the
large
basilica
which
was
definitely
interesting
for
me
to
see.
Meanwhile,
if
you
head
up
the
road
in
the
opposite
direction
from
the
roundabout,
you
can
head
to
a
fairly
large
museum.
The
museum
was
also
interesting.
Note
that
I
went
all
of
these
places
by
walking
over
a
4
day
span.
I
also
walked
to
that
big
castle
by
the
beach.
Getting
around
isn't
very
hard,
especially
if
you're
traveling
with
somebody
else
and
if
you're
okay
to
walk.
The
service
at
Lisbon
Top
Hostel
was
nice.
Breakfast
was
bread,
butter,
and
bananas
(and
probably
coffee
but
I
don't
drink
that).
I
would
recommend
bringing
warmer
layers
than
you're
expecting,
just
in
case.
Coming
from
California,
it
was
a
bit
cold
for
me.
