Last year, we went to Barcelona and had a blast, discovered high limit poker and rich italian gelato. This year, we decided to go to Lisbon, as neither of us had been to Portugal before. I think this might be the last time, as well.
We had a nice time, but it wasn't anything special. Spain is much nicer, plus I'm able to communicate with people there.
We actually stayed in a town a half hour away from Lisbon called Estoril, known for its large casino (we didn't play) and its Formula 1 racetrack (no longer in service). It's a pretty area and you can walk along the seaside promenade to the next town, Cascais.
We took a day trip to the town of Sintra, a medieval type town in a hilly forested area and another day trip to Lisbon, where thanks to one of those top-free double-decker tourist bus, we were able to see most of the city sitting down :)
We did climb to the top of the Castle of São Jorge, right in the centre of Lisbon, giving incredible views of the city.
Here are some pics from our trip:
