Things you should know before staying in a hostel

Exploring Lisbon and the tourist attractions in the city
Lisbon really impressed me as a capital because almost all the attractions are amazing, and you can do all the activities you've ever dreamed of. You must first know that it's rather spread out and you can't visit the city on foot. Well, you can get to some attractions...
