bustimes.org [[travel]]Drinking/smoking in public — OK as long as you behave.
Get a wine and snacks from a supermarket. Chill on the river bank, beware the waves, they might suddenly splash you!
Francesinha
some authentic sandwich?
Fish/squid/octopus. Many small restaurants serve it + veggie plates
Caldeirada seafood stew
haven’t had chance to try… but heard it was good
TimeOut market for food. Lines are pretty long at lunchtime. Not very cheap and not very authentic, but ok overall.
Trobadores medieval tavern
Very cool place! Looks very medieval, nice Celtic musing on the background.
Order chorizo/blood chorizo, you can grill it yourself right on your table!
Nice Celtic musing in the background.
Drink mead, ginjinha, Porto ruby.
Pastel de nata. Nice egg pastry.
Gelaterias. Some delicious ice cream: vanilla & basil, salted caramel, pistachio.
Chimera Brewpub.
Craft Portuguese Beers
Nice filter coffee in Copenhagen Coffee Lab (beware no wifi) and Fabrica Coffee Roasters
Berardo Collection Museum – good modern art
Alfama is higher up and more medieval looking because a tsunami destroyed the lower elevation parts of the city. [wikitravel]
You can get there by cheap (1.5 Eur) suburban train.
Sintra is famous for two local foodstuffs, queijadas and travesseiros. Queijadas are small sweet cakes, that are made using fresh cheese instead of butter. They are actually quite easy to make at home, but when you’re there you might as well try some. Travesseiros are rectangular pastries made from fluff pastry and almond paste, and worth a try as well. [wikitravel]
Cabo de Rocha - very nice lighthouse, cliffs, and decent hike to the beach.
Take a bus from Sintra, but beware the way is serpentinish, in case you are prone to motion sickness. It costs something like 4 EUR, paid by cash to the driver. Also mind the schedule.
de abril bridge
Very cool, looks kinda like Golden Gate. Unfortunately not pedestrian.
take a ferry to the other side, walk to Christ the King statue. Nice city view
train to cascais (coastal resort)
For Lisbon views, we preferred the Rua Augusta arch over the more popular Santa Justa elevator. The arch is also covered by the Lisboa card (€2.50 otherwise) and is IMO the cheaper and better alternative for some superb views of the city. [wikitravel]
electricity museum
Art in metro on some stations
Mostly red line. It goes to the airport, so it’s hard to miss. Oriente is particularly cool
Jardim Botanico
allegedly good, but was closed at the time :(

Geres National ParkGo on a day trip to the Gerês National Park. The wildlife and nature in this park are really worth a visit, and the scenery is magnificent.

Vunho VerdeTaste the "Vinho Verde", freely translated as "Green Wine" - this is mostly a low alcoholic grade, young and fresh kind of wine, that you won't find anywhere else.

Vintage tram ride, Havis Amanda fountain at Market square
Enjoy a ride on a century-old tram! If the weather is warm, sit in the open trailer car. The driver takes you on a 20-minute loop tour around the city centre area (there is no commentary but photo opportunities are plenty due to there being no windows in the open tram from 1909!). The service operates annually from mid-May to the end of August, Saturdays and Sundays only, with departures from the Market Square half-hourly between 10 and 5. €5. edit

Kallio bars
trains are pretty great, and if you’re going often, makes sense to buy a permanent travelcard
Mind the sun. You’re probably better off biking in the morning, waiting till the evening and going back when it’s cooler.
North sea is actually not that cold, you can totally tolerate few dips.
Coast could be very shallow though (e.g Zandvoort), so mind the waves.

best vanilla ice cream ever
very decent, you’re better off buying tickets online couple of days in advance

Tijger & de Vis https://goo.gl/maps/1eVeg9DmQG52Lindengracht 158, 1015 KK Amsterdam, Netherlands
Could be ok by Eurostar and local train?
amazing, highly recommended. check out the souvenir shop, awesome postcards.
техно-бары, если кому интересно: Minimal bar, Süß war gestern. оба во фридрихсхайне, в обоих диджеи каждый день, и иногда очень приличные, нет фейсконтроля в отличие от клубов, а потанцевать можно не хуже (в süß вход платный после 11). еще хвалят burg schnabel и crack bellmer

Berlinische galerie – ok but not super interesting[2018-02-06]
<https://twitter.com/abroadunderhood/status/960804558996897792 > [[berlin]]Вообще есть автобус номер 100, он проезжает по всем основным точкам центрального Берлина и считается туристическим, только стоит нормальные 2,80 вместо 10), ходит к слову тоже каждые десять минут.

burrata cheeseVery very good! Especially with some berries.

coda alla vaccinarawell - sort of ok
https://revealedrome.com/2011/05/beach-in-rome-santa-marinella-italy/
Secondly, Santa Marinella’s beach is convenient. Really convenient. You don’t need a car to get there, or to take a train and then a bus, like you do to get to the (admittedly prettier) beach of Sperlonga. Instead, you just hop on the train in Rome from Termini, Ostiense, Trastevere, or San Pietro; 45 minutes and €3.60 land you in Santa Marinella. From there, you can follow the crowds on the 5-minute walk to the beach.
eh, wasn’t that good in the end

Arthur’s seat (you might need comfy shoes and clothes)
mussel inn: good and quite cheap sea food. Mussels + fish soup is amazing!
very crowded, you might have to reserve or wait

A guide to climbing Helvellyn in winter - Another Place
Make sure you have the right equipment for a winter ascent including waterproofs, warm layers, hat & gloves, winter boots, ice axe & crampons, map & compass, head torch, food & drink and an emergency shelter. Goggles can be very useful on windy days. Pick a good day, but be prepared to turn back if you’re not happy with anything. If you’re new to the winter environment or would like a refresher then consider booking onto one of our one day Winter Skills courses.

To call Mountain Rescue dial 999 and ask for the Police and then Mountain Rescue. You can also register your phone to enable 999 text calls, ideal when the mobile signal isn’t very good.

Helvellyn Safety — Live for the Outdoors
Check the current conditions. Helvellyn is unique in that it has a daily update throughout winter provided by the Lake District Weatherline (www.lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk) This gives an excellent indication as to what weather conditions are like at the top of the mountain over the past 24 hours, and is invaluable when planning an ascent. Also check the forecasts via the Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS.org.uk) and the Met Office mountain weather forecast. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/mountain

Для любителей техно тут есть клуб Bassiani, который входит в топ 10 техно-клубов мира. Еще есть khidi (мост) и Mtkvarze. Пожалуй, это самые популярные клубы
