			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Camping is one of the cheapest solution while traveling, given that you are willing (or restricted by your budget) to give up <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a> commodities and sleep in a more wild and nature-friendly environment. Well it here goes the post that will let you know (at least from the 2008 year) how cheap it is to camp in Lisbon.</p>
<p>For a typical scenario of a couple with a small tent, you&#8217;ll have to pay, per day a total amount of 19€ in the High Season to 13.10€ in the Low Season.</p>
<p><strong>High Season</strong> is called to the months of July and August and the New Year Season, between 29 of December and 1 of January 2009.</p>
<p><strong>Intermediate Season</strong> is called to the months May, June, September and October and also the Carnival and Easter days.</p>
<p><strong>Low Season</strong> is everyday that doesn&#8217;t fit in any of the previous seasons.</p>
<p>You can find below a more detailed price list of the park. You can also find on this <a href="http://www.sunnylisbon.com/camping-in-lisbon-public-transportation-tips/" target="_self">post</a>, information regarding public transportation serving the camping park.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lisbon only has one camping park but don’t worry because it is a big one with very good conditions (it’s a five star camping park with a lot of facilities). It’s location is perfect if you enjoy a closer contact with nature, since it’s located in Monsanto Park, the green lung of the city. On the other hand it has it’s drawbacks, since there aren’t any subway or trains around and buses are the only solution to get in the heart of the city.</p>
<p>When I started to research for this post, I got a scared : there are only two bus routes that stop at the camping park door, and at first sight this seemed to be a problem that could make the camping park away from everywhere. But I was wrong. The routes that stop in the camping gates are well planned to cover most of the city and it’s surrounding. Let’s see :</p>
<h3>Bus 750 (Algés – Oriente)</h3>
<p><strong>Starts at 05:35 and stops at 01:00.</strong> When taking this bus to get to town you’ll always have to take the <strong>Oriente</strong> direction. Has the following main stops:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Benfica</strong> (12 minutes) – This stop in right in the middle of urban neighborhood Benfica and the only point of interest is the connection to Sintra Train Line, from where you can get to Sintra.</li>
<li><strong>Campo Grande</strong> (more 17 minutes) – Again not a big place for sightseeing, but a good connection to the city subway.</li>
<li><strong>Airport</strong> (more 8 minutes) – Well, if you are coming or going by plane, you should consider this option.</li>
<li><strong>Gare do Oriente </strong>(more 15 minutes) – Nice if you traveling by train or long distance buses that start from here. Also is close the modern area of Parque das Nações where you can do a lot of sightseeing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bus 714 (Outorela – Praça da Figueira)</h3>
<p>Starts at 05:00 and stops at 00:48. When taking this bus to get to town you&#8217;ll always have to take the Praça da Figueira direction. Has the following main stops:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Belém</strong> (10 minutes) &#8211; One of the city most attractive places, where you can see Belém Tower or the Jeronimos Monastery. You can also take the Cascais Train here, that may lead you to Cascais, Estoril or Carcavelos beaches.</li>
<li><strong>Alcântara</strong> (10 minutes) &#8211; It&#8217;s where the Docas night clubs are located, in a nice river side location below 25 of April bridge.</li>
<li><strong>Praça da Figueira</strong> (15 minutes) &#8211; Terminal stop right in the middle of downtown. Before this one you also have Praça do Comércio or Cais do Sodré, all of them good places to start exploring the downtown area.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I have to plan my vacations, I surf the web. <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a> and flight booking, travel guides, photos, previous visitors opinions and reviews, all of this add up together to create my traveling notes that we’ll help me while I’m there. If you are reading this, you do the same. From my experience more than 50% of my research time is spent alone in <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a> booking. It’s almost insane the amount of research of have to do to get the perfect spot. At least if you travel on a budget, like I usually do. In this research you must :</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Decide what kind of place you want</strong> (it could be a <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a> room, an apart-<a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a>, a rented apartment or rural house, an hostel or camping site)</li>
<li><strong>Search for discounts</strong> (for the same <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a>, prices may vary from web site to web site)</li>
<li><strong>Location</strong> (How will I get there in the first place, how far away it is to all I want to see, how much time and money will I spend on transportation, is it a safe area at night)</li>
<li><strong>User Reviews </strong>(It’s a 4 star <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a>, but what do people who have been there say about the place? They say it’s a 5m walk to the nearest subway station, but maybe it’s 20m walk through the middle of nowhere)</li>
<li><strong>Extras</strong> (Pool, SPA, child facilities, disability issues, meals included)</li>
</ul>
<p>Since I live in Lisbon, it’s hard for me to have an opinion to give you about the local <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotels</a>. As you can imagine, I’ve never spent a night in any of them. So you’ll not find here any price, discount and my review about any <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotels</a>. But I’ll be more than happy to have your review on our comments, so please feel free to post them here. On the other end, I’ll try to post as much information about <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a> location as I can. From my experience this could be the info that can help you make the final decision.  I’ll do it area by area, with no special order. If you are staying at one <a href='http://www.booking.com/city/pt/lisbon.html?aid=317857'>hotel</a> and need the info quickly, post a comment. We’ll get there first, rest assured.</p>
