Lisbon is a really fun city.

I went 2 years ago, and want to go back.

In town, you won't need a car. just take public transit or a taxi. Tip for taxis, negotiate your price before getting in.

The city is very hilly and if you're looking at a map and think you're at an intersection, you might be, but the cross road could be a floor or two below you.

Drugs are apparently decriminalized, yet still illegal, so don't be shocked when the street vendors selling selfie sticks also offer you cocaine and weed.

I felt really safe there, for the most part, even carrying around a couple grand worth of camera gear, except for about 10 minutes. My buddy and I were walking down an alley and felt a group of guys eyeing us. Nothing came of it.

They sell little beers everywhere for 2 euros, and there are no rules (that we knew of) preventing walking around with an open container. With all the walking we did it was nice to have refreshment nearly on demand. Keep hydrated... or some such.
