TorryLoon Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 We also had a few days as well , did you do the museum tour and watch the Benfica video about the build up to a game, crikey it was a real eye opener and made you feel like a fan. We also did Sporting Lisbon tour and my opinion was they are not as classy as Benfica. Your right Lisbon is a great city and were back having a few days before going home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunty Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Kinda let down by the amount of people offering you drugs, it's every few minutes, even when sat in a restaurant. Sporting tour not as good as Benfica, and not just because it was in Portugese while Benfica fella did his in both languages. Sporting wouldn't even let us take a photo of us sat at Ryan Gauld's spot in the dressing room. Lisbon great place though, and generally pretty cheap.

TorryLoon Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 big clarky nope it wasn't us, your right about drugs but we've been told its not a crime to sell hash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempre Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Enjoyed Lisbon, and Tuesday and Wednesday was great weather. If you took a walk away from the main tourists haunts you were getting some really cheap restaurants. The drug sellers really do let the place down though, and that's probably going to be my main memory of the place as we were constantly harrassed. I know it's not a crime to have a small bit of hash on you, but the police should criminalise selling to someone else or at least deal with it. Would put me off recommending it to others to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The drug sellers have always been a big problem in Lisbon, and it's the fact they do it in plain sight that annoys me. Been a couple of times over the years and it's the one major thing that always spoils what I feel could be a great European Capital city (read few years back city were clamping down on it, yet clearly not enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
