Bad
No walking tours . Click on three days in Lisbon just gives you the common tourist sites with no schedule of which one to see in order of geography. Tours links to viatour. click on metro map it does not show you a map just an app to go from one station to another. What if you don’t know which station untouched want? Poor design. Dont waste your money
OK, but.......
Good idea but leaves much to be desired. Not a good selection of attractions. Too hard to create custom walks. Location services are either always or never active: they should be "active when in use", but this feature does not work. Downloaded maps are great, but you can do as well using Google maps.
Effective way to get about town
My wife and I found this a great way to wuickly learn about the city and to navigate on a walking tour duirng an impromptu trip to Lisbon.
We only had the time to use the sites in downtown and Belem but this was less expensive than a travel book.
My only suggestion wound be to add in Sintra into the package as most of the tourists we met tneded to hit the highlights of the three cities (Lisbon, Belem and Sintra). \
In addition more description of the architecture, e.g., the railway station by Restauradores Square, would be useful to provide historical background to the walk.
Finally some of the historical informaiton similar to what we see in Wikipedia would round out the walk as you typically finished the description in less than half a minute and wanted a bit more detail.
Still a great way to get around the city and not get lost.
Not that good
The map should me much better and detailed. Also should show how to get to cetrain sights by either metro or a bus.
