The Single Girl's Guide to Lisbon Emily Blanchland

Portugal's easygoing capital ticks all the boxes for solo travellers. Its rich history and abundance of museums, galleries and other attractions - from the historic Belem Tower to the ultra-modern Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology - means there is barely time to miss having a companion. Finding a place to eat solo isn't difficult and if people-watching while you munch on pasteis de bacalhau or a custard tart isn't enough, then there's often the distraction of a live fado performance. The first guide to the Portuguese capital dedicated to solo women travellers, The Single Girl's Guide to Lisbon covers sightseeing, history, culture, shopping, style and socialising as well as featuring interviews with local insiders.
