[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am considering a trip there but with my children. Two friends felt it was absolutely like a fairytale, beautiful buildings, great tarts, and friendly people. Two other friends seemingly had opposite experiences - dirty, grimy, covered in graffiti with not a lot to do. Neither friend group knows the other. [/quote]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!

I traveled to Lisbon with my young teens 2 years ago- we loved it! People were friendly. Food was decent. Prices were reasonable. We walked everywhere. The fort was fun hike and provided great views of the city. We ate at places where locals eat vs the ones designed for tourists.

We also toured the smallish museum about the history of Lisbon and it was fascinating.
We took the train one morning to the beautiful seaside town of Cascais and spend the day there. On a different day we did a day trip via train to Sintra. It is beautiful if you like castles and forts.

Every medium to big  city has graffiti and  issues like homelessness etc.

I hope you visit Portugal and especially Lisbon! There are so many day trips that you can make it your home base and keep busy for 7 days!
