3 out of 5
No excursion. Just relax at Simpson bay.

Lisbon, Portugal

5 out of 5
Lisbon is a city worth at least 2 nights. The approach by sea is amazing. We always do our own thing at ports , with taxis, trams or trains and of course by foot.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
No problems at this port. Everything well organized and very fast custom and immigration. So no fingerprints and photos Taxis outside available at a reasonable price if you in the know of the real cost. Just ask someone local. To the Airport only 7km.
