Bus from downtown Lisbon to Lisbon Airport to connect to a 07:00 Flight

The Metro in Lisbon only starts operating around 06:00 in the morning.

For those staying downtown in the areas of Cais de Sodre, Rossio & Restauradores and wishing to get to the Airport to catch a flight, there is the Carris night bus route 208 that leaves from Cais de Sodre and passes through Praça Figueira, a short walk from Restauradores.

See: http://carris.transporteslisboa.pt/fotos/produtos/208_asc.pdf

As it goes all round the houses, one should probably be better to getting an early departure.

Timetable here: http://carris.transporteslisboa.pt/pt/autocarro/208/ascendente/

Bear in mind that this takes one to Terminal 1. If leaving from Terminal 2, one then needs to get the bus shuttle from T1 to T2.

I'm not scared to show my ignorance - What is a bifana?

This erudite and highly intellectual question was recently posed on the Portugal Forums on a leading Travel Website.

The answer...

A Bifana is a highly addictive, high fat, portuguese pork sandwich which when consumed with a bit of mustard, and when washed down with a Sagres Black Beer, is the sort of food that the Vikings in the Monty Python Spam Sketch would have sailed all the way to Portugal for!

And to start the day of right for everyone....

Happy MayDay, Comrades!!!! ;))
