Product Review

Informed by on-the-ground research, Herb Lester's handy, folded guides uncover what makes a city special - its most distinctive shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, museums and galleries, whether unmissable old favourites, exciting new arrivals or overlooked treasures. Each entry comes with its own brief description, and a basic map helps the reader get their bearings and make plans.

This guide allows for ambling, for wandering and for looking around Lisbon's beautiful tiled streets. We enjoy views from rooftops, parks and gardens, take a ferry across the Tagus, explore museums and galleries, and yes, we stop to linger over food and drink too. Our 33 entries encompass the classic and contemporary: custard tarts, canned fish, brutalist architecture and a factory repurposed as shops and offices.

Printed on a single sheet of 100% recycled paper, these light, portable guides are an ideal travelling companion.
