Today on Travel Talk we review a recent trip to Lisbon. Lisbon deserves all the praise that comes its way. The Portuguese pearl is one of the most popular cities on the planet and has been stealing hearts for centuries. The city has an unpolished, seductive appearance; an effortless beauty with captivating details such as cobbled designs, tiled façades, and pastel-coloured buildings all blending together to give it a warm atmosphere now lost in so many other cities. If you are looking for a great value foodie break Lisbon has it all, for culture it's overflowing, for understated style and friendliness it's top class, for golden sandy beaches head over to Costa do Caparica, also a mecca for surfer dudes and digi nomads. Good value abounds here and I highly recommend the Lisbon Card at only €19.95 a day it takes you everywhere.
