................................................................................................................................................ City Focus Lisbon:   Lisbon is an exciting, cosmopolitan city with something for absolutetly everyone. From vibrating night-life, to a rich cultural and arts scene; from a wide range of outdoor cafes from where to watch the bustle go by, to a myriad of fascinating areas to explore.   Tips:   Ask Me Lisboa kiosks are dotted about the Rossio district and airport and their multilingual staff also have maps and brochures. The Lisboa Welcome Card, which can be purchased from tourist information outlets, offers free use of all public transport in the city and free or reduced price tickets to many museums, galleries and tourist attractions. Eating out: Lisbon is strong on fish and the vinho verde, the lightly sparkling wine from the north, complements it well. But you can also find dishes from Portugal’s interior, such as cozida à portuguesa (stew with beans, smoked sausage and pig’s ear) or porco à alentejana (pork with clams). Then there’s bacalhau (salted cod) soaked and cooked in one of a reputed 365 ways. ..................................................................................................................................................
