I'm going to visit Lisbon with my wife in the 4th week of August, and we both like to visit small markets, to scrutinize the stalls, to visit fairs and exhibitions. Are there interesting things to see in that period? For example, I read about the "Feira da ladra", an outdoor antique trade market. Thanks in advance for your kind replies, bye! P.S.: I hope my english is understandable...!

Hope you will travel safely. I can't give you any advise, but Lisbon I was told is a beauty of a town.

Pedro, in Sintra (not far from Lisbon): sunday 28, as well as Feira da Ladra, in the very heart of medieval Lisbon, every saturday. Need more information about Lisbon?

They are both written in Portuguese and English. --- Orta Reply    Reply with quote    Contact orta   siralbert Joined: Jul 05 Points: 8 Posts: 2 Posted: 2005-08-07 10:26:00    Thank you very much for those informations, I'll surely visit Sintra during my week in Portugal!
