opodo suggests a cup of coffee with Fernando Pessoa –  one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century.  (Wikipedia)[/caption]  

What about a cocktail night in a brothel?

… or what about a cup coffee with Fernando Pessoa? These are two of opodo’s 10 Reasons Why You Need to Visit Lisbon the first list we’ve seen that doesn’t include Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, Santa Justa Lift and most of the other usual suspects you always see. Except for Lunch at Mercado da Ribeira – a place we find noisy, smelly and too touristic (go to Mercado de Campo de Ourique instead) – we love all the listed attractions. Use the list to spice up your visit to all the must see sights you find in your guide book or preferred travel blog.
