Get away from the crowd and head towards the soaring city, or visit
the scintillating Palais des Congrès and the colorful place
de la Porte-Maillot. This section helps you to have an idea while
traveling to the charming city.
Staying Here
Staying in Lisbon has never been so easy with an unbeatable range
of accommodation and places to suit every traveler. Among the best hotels
in town are the Hotel Eva (00351 289 803354) and Residential Same,
which lies
on a quiet street and offers pleasant service.
Dinning
No other country serves cuisine to perfection. The French have long
been renowned for their love of the very best in all things of a
culinary nature. From the desirable cooking utensils, sought by
chefs throughout the world, to the creative, classical, understated
luxury of simple, expertly prepared ingredients, it seems there
is nothing that fails to reach the apex of cookery success.
Eating out is essential for a complete Parisian experience. Treat
your taste buds to the most expensive, formal restaurants to the
smaller, less formal cafes and bars. Ravish the creative, inspired,
and elegantly presented cuisines and international delicacies. Be
adventurous and try something new, it is guaranteed to be the finest
example of its kind.
Tipping Advice
Service charges are included on all restaurant bills at a cost of
between 10% and 15%. However, it is fair to add a little more if
the meal and service have been exceptional. Taxi drivers expect
small tips of between 5% and 10% of the fare. Parisian porters,
door attendants, and room service staff can be offered a gratuity
of approximately EUR 1.50 to EUR 3.00. It is also common practice
to give a small tip to ushers in cinemas and theatres. A sum of
between EUR 0.80 and EUR 1.50 is recommended.
