Eat & Shop: Lisboa launches a new card with discounts

Lisboa Eat & Shop is the new card created by the Lisboa Tourist Association (ATL) to promote and publicise the gastronomy of the region while offering discounts in traditional commerce.

The personal and non-transferrable card is valid for 72 hours and gives discounts of between 10% and 20% in more than one hundred Lisboa Tourist Association partners, including craft, antique, travel equipment, fashion, footwear, sports and design shops, and also in Fado restaurants where one can enjoy traditional Portuguese gastronomy and listen to the song which is classified as World Heritage.

The card can be purchased online at http://www.askmelisboa.com or at tourist information offices for six Euros. 

Lisboa Eat & Shop joins the already existing Lisboa Card, a pass with discounts of up to 50% in Museums, Monuments and many other locations of tourist interest and free access to public transport.

Further information and the list of shops and restaurants associated with this initiative can be consulted at http://www.askmelisboa.com/Eat&shop card

In Porto Christmas starts on 28 November!

 Credits to Porto City Council

The Christmas and New Year programme will start on 28 November, earlier than usual, filling the city with light and colour!

Christmas lightings on 30 streets and venues, entertainment, ice rinks and a Christmas market, are an invitation to visit the city, to calmly stroll around its streets, to know its shops, its gastronomy specialties, and to enjoy a festive atmosphere.

The Avenida dos Aliados, the Rua das Flores and the Clérigos Tower will have special lightings.

On the Avenida dos Aliados will shine the Christmas Tree, this year accompanied by the installation “Sound Textures” by the architect Isabel  Barbas.

The regeneration works of the Clérigos Tower will be concluded on 12 December and on that day our dearest monument will shine brighter than ever.

The Rua das Flores, a walking street with a varied range of shops, will have a “special light” and those shopping at the traditional commerce will be given vouchers to use for parking and on the ice skating rinks in Praça D. João I and rotunda da Boavista (Praça Mouzinho de Albuquerque).

The novelty is the Christmas Market on Praça da Liberdade, from 4 to 14 December.

New Year’s Eve promises great and fun moments! The bands Clã and Expensive Soul will heat the scene and at midnight there will be surprising fireworks, offering a unique experience to the public!

The city awaits you! Winter, spring, summer or fall, Porto is Porto all year round, period!
