Sunny Lisbon

It’s not the most original place in the world, since you can find one in every major city in Europe, but even so I decided to post about it. I wanted to this for a couple of reasons, one of them being that I like the place.

When I visit the place I always get the feeling that I’m not in Lisbon, but somewhere else in the world, since it’s costumers are, it’s majority, from abroad. This can be justified by the fact that :

• It’s located in Restauradores square, in the downtown area. This means that tourists will, by default, come here for some nightlife, which can be a mistake in Lisbon. Areas like Bairro Alto, Docas or Santos are more typically associated with Lisboa nightlife than downtown is. Being located here also means to be two steps away from Rua Portas de Santo Antão, which is filled with restaurants and it’s very lively all day and night long.
• Everyone knows the brand. This is a fact, may you love or hate the globalization phenomenon. I, for instance, have eaten more times in MacDonalds while traveling abroad than I do while in Portugal. When nothing else appeals to me I play safe : I know what I’ll be getting and at what price I’ll be getting it.
• Personnel are very friendly and they all speak English. The language can be a problem in Lisbon. Rest assure that people will not refuse to help you to get somewhere even if they don’t understand you, but it’s a fact that English is spoken mainly by younger people.

Location

For some general info of the place, let me tell you that it’s located in Avenida da Liberdade, number 2. The building used to be an old cinema, named Condes (the name is still on top of the build, so you can’t miss it).
