Lisbon was pretty cool. It rained most of the time while i was there and didnt really do that much sightseeing. My roomates went to castles and other stuff. After awhile castles all start looking the same to me. The YES! hostel we stayed at, you can tell was made for young party travelers. There was a bar at the reception desk, apple computers, a big bed in the chilling room on the top on the wall says "MAKE LOVE NOT WAR" and they hosted events like a pub crawl and karoake with winners receiving free shots!
Everyone when they go out to Lisbon mainly goes to Barrio Alto which is a place on top of a hill and there are clubs and bars all around. Ive went a few nights and the people arent even in the bars and clubs they are outside just drinking. I mean EVERYONE is outside you cant even walk in a straight line its worse than being in times square. The streets arent spacious neither. I still had fun but not something i would do on a nightly basis.
We went to a place called CASCAIS which is like a 45 minute train ride from Lisbon. Thats where you go if you want to go to the beach. The day wasnt that hot but it didnt rain either so we just ceased the opportunity. The beach was ok alot of dogs and couples around. Lisbon was pretty basic all in all i enjoyed the trip!
Met a few americans backpacking and couch surfing along the way as well!
