Lisbon, benefiting from an influx of funding from the EU, has reemerged on the world stage as a destination for those seeking the cultural experience of Southern Europe. While it still has a patina of wear and retains an air of shabby chic, renovation and new development are mixing the past with the present to create an alluring juxtaposition of hip boutique hotels in old medieval quarters.

The magnificent Praça do Commercial by the river Tejo is the center of the city and reflects the atmosphere of this historic maritime center. Heading east, you’ll walk through the Alfama with its Moorish past, and up the rising hillside to the dominating presence of the castle of St. George. The pastel houses of the Bairro Alto line up like sunwashed Easter eggs. There's a terrific panoramic view from the park on Rua de San Pedro that shouldn't be missed. Additional must see visits are to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, with one of the best art collections in Europe, and to Bélem to see the Cultural Centre, and the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the monastery commemorating Portugal’s seagoing superiority.

Take the metro D line or a taxi up to the Parque das Naçoes, home of Expo ’98 and now a splendid outdoor vista with shops, restaurants and one of the most stunning Aquariums on earth, the Oceanarium.

The STREETWISE® Lisbon map, including the Lisbon Area map, pulls all of these sites plus hotels, and metro stations together to help you navigate and enjoy your visit to Lisbon. The Lisbon Region map will guide you on day trips west of the city along the beautiful Costa Estoril to Cascais, Estoril and Sintra. And finally, a map of Portugal facilitates further exploration of the beautiful countryside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Streetwise Lisbon, January 3, 2007

By	David Hinman (Sleepy Hollow NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent map, provided one does not travel too far from the center of town. The clarity is very high. I visited friends in Lisbon who said that there was no possibility that I would find their tiny traverso, yet it was clearly shown on the map. It would have been nice to stretch the map as far as the airport, but to do so would either sacrifice scale where it was needed, or make the map larger than the perfect size in which it is produced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Good, December 29, 2007

By	JamesNYC "JamesNYC" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This "map" is actually made up of six (6) maps: One of Portugal; one of the "Lisbon Region"; one of the "Lisbon Area"; one of "Central Lisbon"; one of "Central Lisbon North"; and one of the Belem section of the city. The maps of the city are very detailed with, from what I can see, only the names of some small streets in the Alfama section being left out.

Folded up, the map is 8.5" X 4". It folds out like an accordion to 8.5" X 32" with maps on both sides.

The Index lists hotels, museums, parks/plazas, "places of interest", and shopping, but the "Street Index" lists "only" about 110 streets. Instead of the map of Portugal, they might have made better use of the space to have a more extensive street index, or maybe a more detailed map of Alfama. Also, although subway stops are identified on the Lisbon maps, they might have included a small subway map.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only way to navigate major cities!!!, April 24, 2009

By	Casinobill "Bill" (Phoenix,AZ) - See all my reviews

I first used one of these maps on a trip to London and I would never travel without one!!! I reused the same map two years later to see sites I missed on the first trip. I recently used one in Barcelona and it was indispensable!

I have used one of these in Jerusalem, a very complex city, and it was a fantastic help! I have just purchased Madrid and Lisbon.
