Lisbon is a city which is meant to be lived outdoors. Even in February, the temperatures are pleasant during the day and the street life in the evening is fascinating. Compared to the UK, eating out is very reasonable and fresh fish is top of their culinary specialities. Austerity measures have hit the Portuguese hard and some activities that used to be free are no longer free of charge. However, here are 10 things you still can do for free in Lisbon.
1. Street Art
Lisbon is a great city to explore on foot and the local government tolerates and even encourages street art. Many of the larger murals reflect local political situations, some depicting feelings towards the austerity measures with slogans like "Until Debt Tear Us Apart" Lisbon has attracted street artists from all over the world including famous names like C215 and Vhils who have contributed to the artwork around the city.
