Hi Ced,
I thought I'll explain this in English, this way both you'll understand it.
For the hotel, we passed 5 or 6 nights in the "
Residencial Florescente" (click onto its name), for us a good and payable Hotel. We made it in two rooms for between the three and two nights we were at Porto, no any problem in either of them. + It's close to the center, "rue piétonniere" and full of restos with even Hungarian carte in some of them.
Lisbon for me is mainly the "Baixa", the old center of the city (the whole was rebuilt by Pombal after an earthquake + tsunami in 1755), only the Alfama, Lisbon's red light district was saved by the elements - who knows why (Alfama is not anymore the red light district, but the main goal for tourists with small streets and all such things). So the photos were made there, in the Baixa and from the Fort St George and in the Bairro alto (high quarter), these neighborhoods being on two hills, on the two sides of the Baixa. + You have some shots of the Belém tower (Belém meaning Betlehem), once the last thing to see in Europe for the marines heading to discover the world. For the
Jeronimos Monastery I have no anything, but you'll have a lot of pictures by entering it to google images (Magellan's tomb).
To be mentioned: there is a new Lisbon around, not extremly big, smaller than Bp. We came from the airport to the hotel with only one bus, no need to change, in about ten minutes.
Keywords: Baixa, Elevador, Sé, Bridge 25 april, Salazar, Pombal, Rua Augusta, Henry the Navigator, Navy museum (museu da marinha), Brasil, Magellan...
