Whilst in Lisbon it was wonderful to be able to visit this stadium and see where the Lisbon Lions became immortal. A quick taxi ride from the hotel and we were there. We were allowed wander the stadium at our leisure and soak up the atmosphere. All the while imagining what it would have been like to attend the actual match where history was made. Lovely to see the plaque commemorating the 50th anniversary too. A very special place. And for free!! The security man called a taxi for us and was most helpful.

We did an early morning tour (9:30)- you can book online or buy in the store when they open. The tour was about 12-12 people - I think the small tours are great. Our tour guide was great and because of the small group it went really well. We walked the stadium and saw the press room, visiting team locker room and met the team mascots - if you are a fan of the team and the sport then I recommend the tour. The Museum is also a good part of the whole experience and it pulls the history of the team together - I agree that about 2 hours is what you will need for the tour and museum.

The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art, based in the Gardens of the National Palace of Queluz, has as its mission to conserve and promote the Alter Real-bred Lusitano horse and uphold the Portuguese tradition of Haute École through the selection, training and exhibition of Pure Blood Lusitano horses from the Alter Real Stud Farm. It is an equestrian cultural heritage that remains unique in the world.

This is a must for horse-lovers visiting Lisbon/Belém. It is just a short (less than 10 minute walk) from Pasteis de Belém/Monastery of Jerónimos. Check out their website for more up to date information but at the time I went they were offering special performances (“galas”) about once a month and access to a shorter weekday training session and tour (given in English and Portuguese). That tour talks a little about the stables, providing information about the history of the school and a little bit about the care of the horses (some of whom are friendly enough to pet). There are over 30 lusitanian stallions kept there (in various stages of training) and they are beautiful. The weekday tour started at 10:30 am, with ample time to grab a snack and visit the gift shop before the 11:30 workout of a small group of horses (at the time I went it was €8 for higher level seats and €12 for seats at area level). The weekday workouts are not the same as their choreographed shows-there is music, and the riders practice various dressage maneuvers—but I still found it a thoroughly enjoyable and unexpected treat on my trip to Lisbon.

(Bought our tickets straight after we landed a few days before; taxi from the airport as its close by) Caught a game last week where Sporting won 2-0. Took the metro to get there, easy journey. The atmosphere was family friendly, relaxed and it was no hassle to get into the stadium, the queues moved swiftly. The ultras provided a constant atmosphere inside the stadium. Worth a visit if you’re a football fan in Lisbon & they are playing at home.
