RE: Lisbon For 91 Days: E-Book Travel Guide
When I started using LonelyPlanet it was filled with amazing places off the beaten track discovered by intrepid travelers. Edgy places that you could experience. In the past 15 years or so guide books generally have all converged and you rarely discover hidden gems anymore.
I love your take on the travel experience and am interested to see what you discovered in Lisbon.
I totally understand, if you're for example in Lisbon for only a weekend you want to see the "best" so many guide books carter to this. But as for us, we discover the best places always towards the end of our stay. Mostly thanks to people we meet or readers sending us tips.
Me too, I guess it all comes down to your preference. Do you want to be able to go home and tell everyone at work you visited the Taj Mahal, or you sat for an evening getting to experience some local customs. The latter is not as glamorous but maybe a much greater personal experience. Of course there are things you just have to do like visit the Taj, so don't miss it 😀
I wouldn't miss the Taj Mahal either :) We're so eager to get back on the road! BTW I've sent you a discord message!
