Fyldt med masser af gode tips til spisesteder, rooftop barer, udsigtspunkter mm i Lissabon. Virkelig god og jeg glæder mig til at skulle afsted ❤️

It’s okay. Has a few good unique tips, but is mostly pretty general stuff you could find online for free. Also since the city moves fast, within apparently only months of this book’s release some of the places it recommends seem to already have closed. Therefore it seems unlikely for this book to stay very useful for long.

A brief, slight guide to the city of Lisbon that appears to be aimed at millennial hipsters and – dare I say it – digital nomad gentrifiers rather than having the budget traveller in mind.
As a guide book, “Lisbon Like A Local” sacrifices basic usability (such as having decent maps of the city) in favour of being artfully designed.

A fabulous, interesting, and very well laid out resource, filled with a lot of local favourites and less-touristy things, which I am all about as a traveller. I'm looking forward to experiencing some of them when I travel to Lisbon shortly.

I read an audiobook version. I thought it had a good variety of information but it was read by an English speaker and appeared to not match Portugese pronunciation. I've been reading online and it appears some of the info is outdated.
