From the Back Cover

Lisbon is picture-perfect, with its mosaicked tiles, bright yellow trams and plates of pasteis de nata (and, boy, are there a lot to try). But what's beyond the well-trodden sights? Vintage kiosks creating latte art, old factories hosting dance classes and storytelling sessions, secret viewpoints offering a different perspective on the city - the list goes on. There's so much more to Lisbon than the Castelo de São Jorge and Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, and who better to show you around than the locals?

This insider's guide is packed with recommendations from Lisboetas in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangouts and hidden haunts. Of course, with a city as storied as Lisbon we could fill the pages of this book tenfold. Rather, Lisbon Like a Local offers a snapshot of local life, and it's yours for the taking.

Whether you're a Lisboeta looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish guide makes sure you experience the real side of Lisbon.
